Error when importing schema file with ndssch.

Trying to import file on OES Linux named /usr/share/samba/LDAP/samba-nds.schema which is there by default. Using ndssch which comes with eDirectory and is used to import schema to import file.

The file listed is not an NDS Schema file but is actually and LDIF. Most schema files outside Novell use LDIF for their syntax to stick with standsards that most directories support properly. Because this file is from the Samba Client RPM it is not made to be imported via ndssch. Using ldapmodify works properly.

An example of the ldapmodify command syntax is as follows:
ldapmodify -h 192.168.2.10 -p 389 -D cn=admin,o=novell -w <password> -f /usr/share/samba/LDAP/samba-nds.schema -x -c

testserver-1:/usr/share/samba/LDAP # ndssch -h testserver-1 -t testtree admin.test-ou.test-o samba-nds.schema

Logging into the tree as ""admin.test-ou.test-o Please Wait ...
