After much reading on the OpenSSL API, I decided to start
fresh with a clean OpenLDAP 2.0.7 install (including 
OpenSSL 0.9.6, Cyrus SASL 1.5.24, & Berkeley DB 3.1.17 
all compiled from source).  I started a fresh RedHat 6.2 
install in a VM Ware session and set it up as 
replica.  All works fine...including replication
using the StartTLS extended command.  Interesting....

I need to find out what is making my other install fail.
Just an update for those who are curious.






Cheers, jerry
