[Fedora-directory-users] Schema Conversion

DC / list,

i have a quick and dirty perl script i had cooked up to do this.  it was
enough to allow me to convert some openldap schema to FDS.  i was able
to successfully start FDS after converting a few of them (samba3, etc).

i probably went about it all wrong.  for instance the dn: line is
probably written out incorrectly (i just did what i could to make it
work).  i haven't even tried importing a database using the newly
converted schemas, so your milage will almost certainly vary.

anyway, i've pasted it in the message below because i'm not sure if the
list allows attachments.  i hope it's of some use to people trying to
make the switch from openldap to FDS.

# useful, but it did allow me to convert a few of my .schema
# files and have FDS successfully start with them.

hand...
