9.6. Null

9.6.1. Overview

The Null backend to slapd(8) is surely the most useful part of slapd:

• Searches return success but no entries.
• Compares return compareFalse.
• Updates return success (unless readonly is on) but do nothing.
• Binds other than as the rootdn fail unless the database option "bind on" is given.
• The slapadd(8) and slapcat(8) tools are equally exciting.

Inspired by the /dev/null device.
