Re: N-Way Multi-Master when one server down

["Chris G. Sellers" <Chris.Sellers@nitle.org>]

Howard,
Ok, attached (to protect from being as easily searched from the web  
crawlers) is my slapd.conf that has been scrubbed of some sensitive  
information.   I'm using the slapd.conf version versus the cn=config  
as I had easier success with it.

The second server's syncrepl configurations are the exact same.  I can  
include that server too if anyone thinks that is where the problem lay  
lie.

Thanks.

Attachment: slapd.conf.clean
Description: Binary data
