ah, sorry, I spoke too soon. The deletions still appear regardless those above options. It must be something else...

I would suggest that you slapcat the master and slapadd the replica, so that the replica is fully in sync with a known correct database.

I tried this, the deletions continue but your suggestion led me to try to reload the provider as well; after that the problem seems to be gone.

thanks again for your patience and help, Tony
