Hi!
Updates:
1. Even when I add the missing "olcOverlay: {0}syncprov" it does not change
a thing
2. When using slapmodify instead of ldapmodify to do the change offline, it
succeeds and slapd starts after that
3. Adding a syncprov overlay to another database online also worked.
Kind regards,
Ulrich Windl

Subject: [EXT] Adding syncprov overlay to cn=config seems to freeze the server
Hi!
I'm trying to script a reconfiguration of out OpenLDAP servers, also changing
the replication details.
After dropping the old syncrepl overlay, I tried to add a new one like this:
dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
changetype: add
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig
I deliberately did not add more specific attributes, because I wanted to add
them later.
However I forgot to set olcOverlay.
The point is that both, ldapmodify and slapd become unresponsive using that
LDIF, at least when provided as
ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// <<LDIF
...
LDIF
Is this a bug?
Seen in OpenLDAP 2.5 provided by SLES15 SP6.
