I agree, it is nearly trivial to get the LDAP data.  However, I'm
interested in generating the LDAP schema itself, not just the data.

For instance, the code you sent won't work because my LDAP server doesn't
know anything about the objectclasses or attributes in question.

The people storing their configs in SQL have a similar problem:  How do we
get a valid SQL schema for any data we might end up storing?  Their
current solution is that someone has written a script which just creates
the schema, but if Nagios's configs ever change, this script will have to
be changed.

I'm in the process of writing a (rather stupid) script to just generate
the LDAP schema (i.e., something that will be imported by the ldap server
at startup) based on simple parsing of the code, but it will quite likely
break if the code it's generating from changes at all.
