Comment:

 The error you're seeing is because the Augeas tree is ordered and the
 slapd lens does not allow adding global directives like 'include' in a
 database section. Generally, these errors are only reported when you save,
 not when you modify the tree, since, in general, it can take several tree
 changes to get from one valid tree to another.

 Replying to [comment:1 wayland]:

 The last element is picked with 'last()', not 'last' (notice the parens) -
 you don't need a predicate in [..] for the first argument of ins; the
 first argument is just a label for a tree node, and not a full-blown path
 expression.

 Same here; use 'ins include after ...'

 >  set /files/etc/openldap/slapd.conf/include[5]
 /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema

 include statement both in the right place, and at the end of the file.
 Confusing.

 > Incidentally, the version I'm seeing this in is 0.5.2, but that doesn't
 seem to be an option in trac.

 Ugh .. forgot to add that version to trac.

 I am closing this, since it's not a bug - if you still have trouble with
 Augeas' behavior here, feel free to send mail to augeas-devel.
