You missed the point.  It wasn't about syncrepl vs back-ldap, it was about 
whether or not *anything* used in slapd should ever pull in data from 
ldap.conf.  The *only* thing I can find that pulls in anything from 
ldap.conf (per the man pages) is syncrepl.  Which seems rather odd, 
particularly since it's only for one specific value.  Especially given that 
ldap.conf(5) specifies it is only for ldap clients.
