I wasn't sure but that is good to know.  I hope I will never crowd the 
remaining space between 64 and 98, though :)

Well, I wandered off for a while and came back and there they were -- 
nis* objects/attributes.    So I moved the schema back to 63*, 
restarted, went to lunch and they are still there.  Does restart order 
matter for that (schema adds)?  I didn't think so.  I am not sure what 
It did. 

So I was able to add the nisDomainObject objectcalss and nisDomain 
attribute for my domain object. (I will say that the much lengthier 
document referenced in the How To was very helpful in helping me confirm 
what to do there.)

So no, the iPlanet client service on the EMC is able to find its profile 
and such.  Still doesn't work, but progress.  I will now return to that 
thread.

Thanks!

Jim
