I don't see this. The man page says "<time>". It looks correct to me.

Wouldn't it be better to consequently convert time strings such as 1d15h5s to integer seconds during migration of static config to dynamic config? IMO for LDAP-on-the-wire those values should always be integer representing seconds (or milli-seconds if needed).

I mean back-config content is meant to be machine-processable and cleaner syntax would reduce unneeded complexity.

The complexity is already there, and obviously somebody thought it was desirable for these things to be human-readable. We're doing them no favors by converting to straight integers.

Of course, I would have preferred something like DD+HH:MM:SS instead of this XdYhZs format, but no, we're not going to change the expected input syntax after the fact.

Yeah, I think my eyes were glazing over at that point and I read "time" as "seconds". ;)

For back-ldap, back-meta, and back-asyncmeta:

network-timeout -> This takes an integer, but is defined as a string. The back-ldap, back-meta, and back-asyncmeta man pages says it uses the same format as idle-timeout, but the function that parses the value does not agree with assertion. It appears to take only accept an integer.

Looks to me like it uses lutil_parse_time, same as idle-timeout. But in back-meta network-timeout is displayed as an integer, while idle-timeout uses lutil_unparse_time. network-timeout probably should be using unparse_time as well.

Fixed in my latest commit.

For back-meta and back-asyncmeta:

bind-timeout -> This is clearly described in the man page as a taking an integer value, but it is defined as a string. Any objection to me changing it to be an integer type?

Fixed in latest commit.

Please review (link at the end). The following illustrates the choices I made. The ones marked "DELETE" will be removed under a later ITS I need to file. I'm still unsure what to do with olcTLSCertificateKey since it uses a private OID for its SYNTAX which doesn't seem to have an associated equality matching rule.
