Re: back-meta assert failure

[Andrew Sharpe <andrew.sharpe1@jcu.edu.au>]

Thanks for your reply Aaron.

I was of the understanding that the translucent overlay can and will not provide this functionality 
but the meta backend does.  I cannot get the meta backend working in a stable state so was hoping 
someone would say 'yes, I'm using the meta backend from OpenLDAP version x.x and it's great'.  The 
meta backend does provide the functionality I'm after except versions 2.3.24 and the CVS HEAD I 
haven't been able to configure to provide a stable slapd.

Any other pointers at how this can be achieved are most welcome.

Thanks, Andrew
