slapd(8C) man page, -c option: covers delete phase?

hi all,

on a consumer I spotted a zombie entry which was deleted on provider.

Replication is syncrepl:

olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=003 provider=ldap://ldap-master.example.org binddn="cn=repluser,ou=agents,dc=example,dc=org" bindmethod=simple credentials="secret" searchbase="ou=people,dc=example,dc=org" type=refreshOnly interval=00:00:01:00 retry="5 5 30 +" timeout=1 scope=sub schemachecking=on exattrs=sambaHomeDrive sizelimit=100000 timelimit=7200 starttls=yes filter="....."

my naive strategy was to (re-)start slapd with the -c rid=003 switch but of course I am missing something because I can see from logs syncronization if actually forced but zombie entry is not deleted.

I am really sorry to ask you what I misundestood,

thank you,

Francesco
