The slapd.conf manpage has the following text inside the syncrepl section.

"The  search  specification  includes searchbase, scope,  filter,  attrs, 
attrsonly,  sizelimit,  and   timelimit parameters  as  in  the normal search
specification.  The search specification for the LDAP Content Synchronization
operation has the  same  value  syntax  and  the same default values as in the
ldapsearch(1)   client   search   tool."

The ldapsearch manpage, has the following for sizelimit and timelimit.

-z sizelimit
   retrieve at most sizelimit entries for a search.  A sizelimit of
   0  (zero)  or none means no limit.  A sizelimit of max means the
   maximum integer allowable by the protocol.  A server may  impose
   a maximal sizelimit which only the root user may override.

-l timelimit
   wait at most timelimit seconds for  a  search  to  complete.   A
   timelimit  of  0  (zero) or none means no limit.  A timelimit of
   max means the maximum integer  allowable  by  the  protocol.   A
   server  may  impose a maximal timelimit which only the root user
   may override.

However, using the following in slapd.conf inside the syncrepl portion sends a
warning message

        sizelimit=none
        timelimit=none

slapd.conf: line 57: invalid size limit value "none".
 or
slapd.conf: line 57: invalid time limit value "none".


I suspect the documentation should be changed to say that the sizelimit or
timelimit should be 0 if you wish to mean "unlimited"?
