Issue ID: 9556
           Summary: slapd-config should return invalidAttributeSyntax if
                    parsing schema description fails
           Product: OpenLDAP
           Version: 2.5.4
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: slapd
          Assignee: bugs@openldap.org
          Reporter: michael@stroeder.com
  Target Milestone: ---
I'm currently testing error handling and interacting with LDAP clients (e.g. my
web2ldap).
Sending an invalid attribute type description results in an error (as expected)
returned by slapd-config:
RESULT tag=103 err=80 qtime=0.000032 etime=0.001271 text=olcAttributeTypes:
Unexpected token before  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 )
But result code other(80) seems not very useful. It's too unspecific to decide
on specific error handling.
It would be much more useful if slapd-config returns invalidAttributeSyntax(21)
in this case.
