Full_Name: Quanah Gibson-Mount Version: 2.4.46 OS: N/A URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (47.208.148.239) The man page for slapadd's -w option needs to be updated to note that it's generally only safe to use with a cold slapcat.
The note for the -w argument does not apply to back-mdb, since back-mdb uses an isolated snapshot of the database when performing the slapcat. Thus the out of order "hot change" issue does not apply (which is the problem with using -w with back-bdb/hdb). -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

has patch;IPR OK
changed notes
Given that this is only an issue for back-bdb/hdb and they are deprecated for 2.4 and removed for 2.5, no reason to fix.
