Manually editing slapd.d files is the surest way of causing a problem that prevents slapd from restarting.OK, understood!Obvious approach: slapcat -n0 -F old/slapd.d > config.ldif edit config.ldif slapadd -n0 -F new/slapd.d -l config.ldif test using new/slapd.d deploy...OK, I see. Valuable info.
I would note that OpenLDAP 2.5 (when released) adds a "slapmodify" command per my request. It allows you to do offline modifications of cn=config in a way similar to ldapmodify. This will also keep the CRC checksum intact.
