Hello,

I've updated Neil Dunbar's code that implements
draft-good-ldap-changelog-03.txt. We use this code in our IDM environment (using
Novell IDM3) since August (running 2.3.24). It's performing well. The resulting
code is in the incoming folder of the ITS FTP. I've seen that there are also
additions / patches for accesslog overlay evolving. Maybe this code offers some
usable lines. I also fixed several memory leaks and changed the changelog to use
a separate backend. Off course it uses config schema and integrates the
changelog draft schema on its own. It does not add the changelog attribute to
the root dse as mentioned in the draft, though. We add this usind the rootDSE
config param and a suitable ldif, as IDM driver is looking for it in the rootdse
as mentioned in the draft. Besides the new directive (changelog_db) and the need
to define a separate changelog backend, configuration is the same as for Neil
Dunbar's code. 

Bye,

Sebastian Rieger
