One example is adding the olcSyncrepl attribute to 
olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config . Ldapmodify reported success. Ldapsearch shows 
the new attribute. syncrepl works. 
However, /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config.ldif does 
not have an olcSyncrepl attribute. When slapd is restarted, the olcSyncrepl 
attribute is missing.

The same thing happened when adding the entry for the syncrepl overlay.

Thank you,
