Right. I think we'll go with another approach instead - Samba will always spit out moduleload directives. We'll change moduleload to check for already-existing backends or overlays, and silently succeed in those cases.

Well, I think we could also provide sort of an off-line means to check what is statically built-in and what's not. In principle, one could implement tool mode in back-monitor and perform a

echo "database monitor" > slapd.conf slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Backends,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Overlays,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever

to find what's available. If it fails, back-monitor itself is needed; then

echo "modulepath path/to/back-monitor" > slapd.conf echo "moduleload back_monitor.la" >> slapd.conf echo "database monitor" >> slapd.conf slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Backends,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever slapcat -f slapd.conf -s "cn=Overlays,cn=Monitor" | grep whatever

Looks like an overkill, but it might be of general usefulness.
