Syncrepl uses a regular ldapsearch operation to do its work. The attrs 
specifier is identical to what you use for ldapsearch. If you want all 
the operational attributes, use "+". Note that syncrepl uses attrs="*,+" 
by default so if you just want all attributes, you should just use the 
default and not bother configuring attrs= at all.

syncrepl also automatically adds entryUUID and entryCSN to the request 
if your explicit list doesn't include them, since it won't work without 
them. That's why they always propagate automatically.
