If the -r option is used with the 'slurpd' daemon it breaks the replication function and sends the replication data to the specified logfile instead.

What does this mean? According to the documentation, -r must point to slapd's replog file, namely the file where replications are logged by the producer. Of course, if you point it to a file that is not a valid replication log, the behavior will be unexpected.

This behaviour is not documented in the manpage for slurpd.

Please describe what behavior you obtain and how it differs from documented. Note that regular users are not supposed to use the -r switch, since slurpd typically knows where to get the replog file.

Also, note that slurpd is deprecated; syncrepl should be used instead.
