In re23 slapo-rwm should not be used in conjunction with other overlays; there is a number of reports about interoperability issues, and only recently Howard fixed (I should say "reworked") it in HEAD/re24. Can you reproduce the same issue with HEAD?

Will do later this week.

That's strange though, as I merely followed the slapd-ldap(5) man page:

suffixmassage, map, rewrite* These directives are no longer supported by back-ldap; their functionality is now delegated to the rwm overlay. Essentially, add a statement

overlay rwm

first, and prefix all rewrite/map statements with rwm- to obtain the original behavior. See slapo-rwm(5) for details.

Maybe a man page patch is needed to stop others hitting this.

Thanks.
