The point is that not read-only consumers have the issue with contextCSN. It's
rather one or another of the MMR providers.

Ciao, Michael.

Thank you so much for your answers.

We also have syncprov overlay running on the slave servers too.

We will have to live with this issue then:

* We have adapted our nagios script so that it now checks both contextCSN and last modified entry's entryCSN values in order to know if slave replication is working ok.

* We are also checking on cn=Tasklist,cn=Threads,cn=Monitor if the replication thread is running (do_syncrepl) in the slaves.

Thanks again for your help.
