I'm not entirely clear from the admin guide if this is true or not. 
According to the guide, the binddn entry must be present in the replica's 
DB -- So how can it suck the DB from the provider if it doesn't already 
have a DB?

"It will bind as "cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com" using simple 
authentication with password "secret". Note that the DN specified by the 
binddn= directive must be existent in the slave slapd's database or be the 
rootdn."

Since I'm using GSSAPI here, it isn't going to be the rootdn.

Okay, I'll fix that as well.

gssapi has worked fine for me so far. ;)
