hi-
i'm running slapcat from a daily cron job to back up cn=config and other databases. i've recently updated from 2.4.21 to 2.4.23, and notice now in the output of slapcat, messages such as
slapcat -b 'cn=config' -l 'config.ldif' > /dev/null
PROXIED attributeDescription "OU" inserted. PROXIED attributeDescription "DC" inserted.
a bit of searching seems to indicate that these shouldn't be cause for concern, and are just informative messages.
since these messages are written to stderr, cron sends email every time it runs slapcat. if they're not errors, do they maybe belong in stdout rather than stderr? alternatively, can these messages be suppressed? according to the man page, there doesn't appear a way to do so.
Quite odd this emerged while upgrading from 2.4.21 to 2.4.23. In any case, that message indicates that "ou" and "dc" are not known; since those attributes are defined in core schema, and you probably want core.schema to be loaded, your configuration could be broken, so I'd fix that before suppressing error messages.
p.
