$ ldapsearch -xLLLH ldap://localhost/ -s base -b "dc=rutgers,dc=edu" contextCSN dn: dc=rutgers,dc=edu contextCSN: 20070613170816.000000Z#000000#000#000000

Works on either a slave or a master.

3. How do I query the master in a human readable format for all changes

based on a cookie which I present?

See -E sync option, described in ldapsearch(1) man page, for the syntax (it depends on what method you desire, for example you must choose refreshOnly/refreshAndPersist). One completed example is at http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/200909/msg00202.html

(not sure if you'll consider it human-readable, but that's a whole different story...it's plain text output, at least?)
