I have a bit of sympathy for OpenLDAP as the openldap.org admin manual
and their 'faq-o-matic' aren't going to answer either of his questions,
the openldap-software mail list would simply tell him that he needs to
upgrade to 2.3.34 and his questions are off-topic.

As someone who has googled for some things openldap, it is not the
easiest to get answers.

If that weren't enough, I already answered his 2 questions in less words
than I have spent here. It wasn't a big deal and the answers are not
easily googled or found in man pages or anywhere else.
