Hi Howard, all,

fails, indicating there already is one in existence. However, I can't find any such beast:
root@host:~/ldap# ldapsearch -Q -LLL -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b 'cn=config' '(|(olcDatabase=monitor)(objectClass=olcMonitorConfig))' root@host:~/ldap#
Did you try searching to see if cn=monitor is actually there?
Yes, although I'm not exactly sure I have this sorted out correctly. What I did was for example this:
root@host:~/ldap# ldapsearch -Q -LLL -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b '' -s base + '*' | grep -v supported dn: objectClass: top objectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE structuralObjectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE configContext: cn=config namingContexts: dc=<redacted>,dc=de entryDN: subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema
... which shows more or less what I would expect -- a naming context, configuration under cn=config, the subschemaSubentry, and nothing resembling monitoring stuff.
If there are other, possibly better ways to check, let me know - I'm quite aware I'm far from really understanding LDAP in general, and OpenLDAP in particular.
Thanks,
Arno
