In the Administrater's Guide, Section 18.3.1.3 (http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html) there is no mention of needing to explicitly load the "syncprov" module with a loadmodule directive. It is mentioned when talking about Delta-syncrepl in 18.3.2, but is not previously in 18.3.1 when setting up "plain" syncrepl between servers.

Modules are an optional part of the configuration. You're expected to know that you need to use loadmodule if you configured module support.

Simply adding it to the example server configuration so new users realize that this module may need to be loaded would be sufficient. Otherwise, we try the sample code and the testing server won't start and needs to be debugged. Sure it's not a big deal, but first experiences should be as positive as possible.
