I disagree; it is not cn=config that defaults database monitoring to TRUE; actually, it's back-bdb/back-hdb that sets its own monitoring to TRUE as soon as back-monitor support is compiled and the specific backend monitoring is successfully initilized. Maybe this warning can be demoted to LDAP_DEBUG_CONFIG instead of LDAP_DEBUG_ANY. I understand that one could presume that the lack of database monitor in the configuration indicates that monitoring is not desired; this warning, however, tries to address a typical configuration error, when admins just forget to configure it. p.
