syncprov and translucent

[Andy Cobaugh <phalenor@gmail.com>]

As one might expect, mixing the translucent and syncprov overlays together 
on top of the same bdb database doesn't work. Because translucent uses 
back-ldap, lastmod is being set to off, while syncprov needs it to be on 
in order to function.

I wonder if it might be possible to change the behavior of back-ldap to 
allow lastmod again? In my case, I only care about replicating changes 
that are stored in the local bdb database by the translucent overlay, and 
I never send updates back to the target ldap server.

I suppose I could come up with something where I slapcat, then let the 
slaves pick up the ldif and see if it's different from the last time. If 
it is, shutdown slapd, delete the database files, slapadd, start slapd.

I really want to avoid doing that though, since I consider that a hack and 
a half.

Thoughts? Is enabling lastmod for back-ldap just a matter of commenting 
out some lines?
