Can you elaborate on that?  From the Wiki, it seems that there are some,
but they're undocumented.

The other way 'round (OL => FDS), one could try out OpenLDAP's
slapo-accesslog(5) in the changelog-like variant (haven't tested, could
need some hacking).  THis should work fine with changelog (Retro
Changelog).

Or (and it would probably be a big plus for RFC 4533) FDS could be added
a plugin that makes use of LDAP Sync.  I note that, for applications
that do not want to reinvent the wheel, OpenLDAP's libldap that ships
with 2.4 provides a ldap_sync API that hides RFC 4533 details, so one
only needs to deal with making use of the results of the various phases
of the sync replication.
