Hi Darren,

We use a similar setup to you (Fedora Core 3, Openldap 2.2.19 with bdb
4.3 - Quanah advised against using bdb 4.3 however i couldnt find an
RPM package of 2.2.19 with bdb 4.2 that actually compiled with minimal
changes). We are also using Syncrepl, however with refreshAndPersist
option instead of refreshOnly.

I would be very interested in getting a copy of your modified Fedora
RPM (or source rpm you built from - if possible) and see how it goes
with our setup.

Also, does anyone know of an openldap 2.2.20 or 2.3 source rpm anywhere?

Cheers,
