Description

There is a whole lot of consistency rules that could/should be checked, and some even enforced directly by OpenLDAP, like:

- when a node is deleted, all groups containing its ID should be updated;
- when a directive is deleted, all rules containing that directive should be updated;
etc.

We should write tests for all these rules.

Actually, my self of now can tell to my self of 4 year ago that checking consistency rules is almost never what you want. You want:

- convergent updates,
- idempotent action,
- sane error handling to get "as much as you can with what you have".

So closing it with "well attempt, little beetle".
