      If you just want to move your ldap server from one machine to
the other, slapcat might be what you want to do. Spit database(s) out,
take them to the new server, feed them in, and off you go.

If you are going to do replication, check out the examples in
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html, like in
18.3.1.3. It seems you are missing a few entries.
