mdb_copy creates a copy using the default umask. This usually leads to insecure (world readable) copies, as typically an LDAP databse is 600 owned by some unprivileged ldap user.

I suggest to copy the behaviour of cp, scp, rsync etc: preserve mode by default, preserve all metadata (uid:gid, mode, mtime, atime ...) when invoked with -p ?
