Addressbook LDAP schema?

[Blake Barnett]

OpenLDAP v2.x.x has always included the netscape schema.  You just need
to tell it to load it in the slapd.conf file.

For example, in my slapd.conf:
---
include         /etc/ldap/schema/netscape-profile.schema
----
				 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm not sure how 1.x.x supported Netscape, you may have had to added the
difinitions directly in slapd.conf

If you're not using OpenLDAP then you'll need to find out how to load
additional schemas or "extend" the current one to support it.
