Yes, although I'm not exactly sure I have this sorted out correctly. 
What I did was for example this:

root@host:~/ldap# ldapsearch -Q -LLL -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b '' -s 
base + '*' | grep -v supported
dn:
objectClass: top
objectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE
structuralObjectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE
configContext: cn=config
namingContexts: dc=<redacted>,dc=de
entryDN:
subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema


... which shows more or less what I would expect -- a naming context, 
configuration under cn=config, the subschemaSubentry, and nothing 
resembling monitoring stuff.

If there are other, possibly better ways to check, let me know - I'm 
quite aware I'm far from really understanding LDAP in general, and 
OpenLDAP in particular.


Thanks,

Arno
