[Fedora-directory-users] schema extension via ldif at install time

[George Holbert]

As I understand it, replicated schema is stored in the 99user.ldif file 
on each consumer.
Does anyone know if schema defined in 60x.ldif through 98x.ldif files on 
the master is replicated to consumers?  Or will masters only replicate 
the schema that is present in their local 99user.ldif file?

In other words, will schema changes made to "60custom.ldif" on the 
master be replicated to each consumer's 99user.ldif file, or will each 
consumer's /<serverroot>/config/schema directory need to get an updated 
copy of 60custom.ldif ?
