Yes, slurpd is running on the master with the -f option as root user
root     10258  0.0  0.0  12428   728 ?        Ssl  Apr18   0:00 slurpd -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

I was not aware that slurpd is being depreciated.  I will stop the slurpd and remove the replica lines from the master and slave slapd.conf files and research more on syncrepl and delta-syncrepl.

Thank you
