So, ALL regex'es used within ACLs loaded in a slapd.conf should be with
double backslashes? I had not realized that. The statement "If an
argument contains a double quote ('"') or a backslash character ('\'),
the character should be preceded by a backslash character" which is
included slapd.conf(5) and in
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html is - at least -
obscure to me with regard to regex'es used in ACLs.
Obscure? Are those ACL statements in slapd.conf or aren't they? Do backslashes in slapd.conf need to be escaped or don't they? It's not like it says "backslashes must escaped except on alternate Tuesdays."
