Replication problems

[Steve Moore <mooresm@muohio.edu>]

I am having the identical experience to what Roland Pope described on this 
list on Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 14:38:24.  The only other possible clue I 
have is the following error when I start slapd.  But I don't know what it 
means either.

Feb 18 10:17:25 tstlnx01 sudo:  mooresm : TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/home/mooresm ; 
USER=root ;
                         COMMAND=/etc/init.d/ldap start
Feb 18 10:17:25 tstlnx01 slapd[6246]: daemon: socket() failed errno=97
                         (Address family not supported by protocol)
Feb 18 10:17:25 tstlnx01 slapd[6246]: daemon: socket() failed errno=97
                         (Address family not supported by protocol)
Feb 18 10:17:25 tstlnx01 slapd[6249]: slapd starting

I searched through the archives and did not find a follow up to Roland's 
posting which I have included below.

I am running OpenLDAP 2.0.11 on RedHat 7.1 and I am trying to get replication
working from one master to a single replica. I have added a replication 
entry to
the master's slapd.conf which looks like this:
<snip>
replogfile      /var/lib/ldap/slapd.replog
replica host=slavehost.somedomain.com:389
        binddn="cn=root,dc=somedomain,dc=com"
        bindmethod=simple
        credentials=secretpassword
<snip>

In the replica's slapd.conf file I have an updatedn entry like so:
<snip>
updatedn        "cn=root,dc=somedomain,dc=com"
<snip>

When I start the master server, slurpd starts up as expected. When I alter an
entry on the master, the slapd.replog file is written with the change. Slurpd
then copies this change to replica/slurpd.replog and deletes the entry from
slapd.replog.
This is where it stops. The change is never sent to the slave??
if I run slurpd in debug mode, I see no messages to indicate any error.
I see no connection to the replica from the master in the replica's log file.
If I stop the running slurpd and do a oneshot run of slurpd over the
replica/slurpd.replog file, it successfully sends the changes to the replica.

Any ideas what might be preventing slurpd from sending the changes through to
the replica automatically?
How long should I have to wait before the changes are sent?
