Man, this all totally blows away what I was working on :)

Anyway, something I'de like to add to this, is a strictly connection based
logging for slapd. In other words, I want usage info similar to what you
would get with apache or proftpd. This can then be piped through a log
analyzer of sorts.

My company is looking for this, mainly so our department can show what
kind of usage we are getting from the server.

I'll drop my work on the logging, so long as this takes care of the main
issue I was working on, which was all the warnings when compiled with
-Wall, and removes the hardcoded number of arguments required.
