Thank you, editing configuration via LDAP did do the trick.

I had IBM DS 5.2 (I have had also 3.x and 4.x before), also running RHEL 4. 
There was not much data and only one own objetclass with couple of 
attributes, no problems migrating. Or actually I had minor problems, first I 
tried to update schema with ldapadd and ldapmodify without success. And I had 
critical environment, not much time to solve problems. Then I just copied my 
schema file to the schema directory and it worked.

To be honest, I was a little fed up to the IBM DS after four years of usage, 
sometimes I had hardware failure in some peer and after it was fixed, that 
peer could not replicate and I had no skills to fix it. In addition, I have 
had problems with exporting and importing data with IBM's db2ldif and ldif2db 
tools, sometimes some data such as group memberships were lost etc. I had no 
support for the product, I just had to live with those problems.

Because of my limited skills I need good support and that is one of the main 
reasons migrating to FDS. 

I asked my question friday night 7:03 PM and got working solution 9 minutes 
later, what commercial support could do better :) 

Thanks again,
