Thanks Dan, I did not realise slapcat could be used in this way, that looks ideal.

Sounds like a job for diff:

slapcap -n0 -F <path_to_existing_slapd.d> > $TMP/slapd-portable.ldif

mkdir $TMP/slapd.d.generic slaptest -f <path_to>/slapd.conf.generic -F $TMP/slapd.d.generic slapcat -n0 -F $TMP/slapd.conf.generic > $TMP/generic-portable.ldif

diff -ruN $TMP/slapd-portable.ldif $TMP/generic-portable.ldif

Compare the output, and adjust your generic slapd.conf, then rinse, lather, and repeat until you get the same output.
