I agree that this would be desirable. These particular operational attributes probably only be modified by the master and then replicated to the slave(s). It would be interesting to see what the replication drafts specify for handling of these (and other) operational attributes. >idea for a fix: maybe add a "dontcare" setting to the lastmod attribute; >slapd should then perceive modif* and creat* as regular attributes and >neither strip nor add these attributes on its own. I think we need to come up with an approach to handle a wide variety of operational attributes. I'm thinking it would be feasible to completely control such behavior through ACLs. Kurt

Replication handles operational attributes as designed (not replicated). This is a request to change the handling of certian operational attributes.
