Interesting. Perhaps instead, your overlay should just maintain a fixed entry with a copy of the largest uidNumber in it, instead of searching the entire tree all the time.
FWIW, I had the same need, plus allocating gidNumber, sambaSID and whatever. I do with with a dirty hack that filters the output of an accesslog overlay directed to a shell backend.
When I'll have some time, I'd like to write on a slapo-exec, to run external scripts on various conditions. That would be much cleaner.
fork() is rather hazardous in a threaded program (which is one of the major problems with back-shell). Better to take the approach that back-sock uses, or just wrap some overlay glue around back-sock itself. (Much like slapo-chain is a simple wrapper around back-ldap.)
