You don't need these with 2.3.1 alpha.

Correct, just use -q with slapadd.  It will disable the log files and a few 
other things.

You can't with BDB 4.3.27.  In fact, BDB 4.3.27 is horribly broken when it 
comes to log files.  If you need to be able to disable log file creation, 
you need to stay with BDB 4.2.
