If his post had been written from an informed standpoint I would have let it slide. Nor do I believe there was anything uncivil in the text of what I wrote. Ugh. Perhaps you would like to remind me about what we got into such a disagreement about and when that you are still mad, because I honestly do not remember. But, I have to admit, your tone is what I have come to expect from you. I fail to see how my question about all the overlays that are provided with OpenLDAP working with cn=config before slapd.conf is deleted means that I have an enormous sense of entitlement. You are, of course, welcome to your opinion. Thankfully, I am not required to agree with you. As for submitting patches. That's not going to be happening. I have submitted patches in the past for the things I cared about. However, these days, I have too many different applications that I have to maintain to take the time to decipher the OpenLDAP code anymore. -- Frank Swasey| http://www.uvm.edu/~fcs Sr Systems Administrator| Always remember: You are UNIQUE, University of Vermont |just like everyone else.

Last I remember, there were still overlays that didn't work with cn=config. If your memory is correct, you're welcome to submit patches. I would rather that cn=config was working with everything for one entire release before slapd.conf is removed to give those of us that depend on those overlays a chance to migrate -- rather than a repeat of the forced conversion to syncrepl before it was completely baked (which I for one do not think has completely happened even now in 2.4.22). All of the core overlays support cn=config. You can always pull slurpd from CVS if you enjoy that sort of thing, no one put a gun to your head to force you in any direction. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

Is there a tool that converts the other way round? I could write one, but I'd rather use an existing wheel if there is one. No. You're not supposed to go backwards in development. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Engineer Zimbra, Inc Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
