How do you reanimate if you deleted many of the attributes? >Also, because the structural >object class cannot be changed it is difficult to do this >atomically. See the 'glue' object implementation. >Or are you suggesting make tombstone a special-cased auxiliary >class handled by slapd? No. I was thinking that tombstones could be implemented much the way glue objects are implemented. I note I don't have much problem with adding a no-schemachecking option to slapadd, as this might also be useful in reloading of partial (especially fractional) replicas from their slapcat backups.
