You likely will have to update your ACL's to follow a stricter format.  You 
may need to massage some data.  You probably will want to allow V2 binds 
for your old clients to work (see the slapd.conf man page).

As for BDB, I suggest reading the FAQ article I sent you earlier, as well

than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
