directory, or can I just add the new schema, and tell the
server that the new attributes are now allowed in
inetOrgPerson/Person/posixAccount/etc?
You _can_ do that but it highly discouraged. Schema (particularly standard
schema) is intended to remain static so that all clients know what they are
dealing with.
The important thing is, I don't want to rebuild anything, not
to interrupt any service.
You can create new schema for an auxillary objectclass that represents your
application and add that objectclass to the users that need it.
I see there are quite a few of Netscape schema, for specific
apps, such as Collabra Server, etc. How do I add app-specific
schema like that without rebuilding the directory? Or do I
have to rebuild it everytime a new schema is added?
As mentioned above, simply add the objectclass to an existing user entry.
You should never have to rebuild anything.
