Since it's just a test installation, your best action is to delete it all and
start over with the correct LDIF.

What do any of these 3 points have to do with each other, let alone with N-way
replication?

If you had read the docs http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html
you wouldn't need to ask such questions.
Hello,
None of the answers was valid actually.
If I could start all over, I wouldn't ask, right?
What it has to do ? It has to do the fact that in this kind of replication you are replicating cn=config as well, which usually in other kinds is not the case.
And yes, I read the link you mentioned, hint: the word "status" shows up there three times in one sentence that does *not* mention anything about external checking of LDAP replication status.
Ergo, if you don't want to help, don't frustrate the asker :)
