Just in case someone searches these archives looking to see how to do syncrepl with OpenLDAP on OpenBSD, here is what I had to do to add all the overlays, and backends, and so on. Normally I prefer using only the packages that are on the OpenBSD CD or using ports. I compiled OpenLDAP from source only because I do not know how to enable the dynamic modules and overlays when OpenLDAP is installed from packages -- so quite possibly there are much simpler ways of doing this and probably there are many good reasons why the ports maintainer did not want to enable overlays (if that is indeed the case). I will be grateful for any corrections/suggestions or if you have any thoughts on what other approaches would have been more appropriate than the stuff below. Here is the configure command I used: env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/db4 -I/usr/local/include/sasl" \ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/db4 \ -L/usr/local/share/libtool/libltdl \ -L/usr/local/lib/sasl2 -L/usr/local/lib" \ ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --enable-slapd \ --enable-cleartext \ --enable-crypt \ --enable-rewrite \ --enable-wrapper \ --with-cyrus-sasl=yes \ --enable-spasswd \ --enable-dnssrv \ --enable-ldap \ --enable-ldbm \ --enable-bdb \ --enable-meta \ --enable-null \ --enable-passwd \ --disable-ipv6 \ --disable-shell \ --enable-slurpd \ --enable-overlays=mod \ --with-tls \ --disable-sql Did a 'make depend' after the command above completed successfully and then a 'make test' to verify that everything especially syncrepl (test017 for refresh, test018 for persist, test019 for cascade, test043 for delta-syncrepl) works properly for the different backends on OpenBSD 4.1.
