Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.28-1.1
Severity: normal

When configuring the shell backend in slapd.conf the syntax is (see man
slapd-shell):

add <pathname> <argument>...
bind <pathname> <argument>...
compare <pathname> <argument>...

and so on.

That is the path to the script followed by its arguments. This has
worked fine in the past. However, the current version 2.4.28-1.1 of the
slapd server refuses to start if any arguments are given after the path
name in the configuration file, with the following assertion:

slapd: ../../../../servers/slapd/config.c:198: config_check_vals:
Assertion `c->argc == 2' failed.

For the configuration of the shell backend the assertion condition means
that it is not possible to pass arguments to the script in the
slapd.conf. The man pages documents that this should still be possible,
and it has been working with earlier versions.
