Re: patch to disable SLP registration from commandline (ITS#3132)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

Aside from implementation issues Ando noted, I note that
I suggested that we use the -o key=value pair as it is
consistent with what we use elsewhere (for instance,
extension specification in client tools).  The format is
derived from that used in LDAP URLs, and can easily be
adapted (and has been) for use in configuration files and
the command line.
