Re: slapcat, PROXIED attributeDescription inserted, and cron jobs
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.
