SyncRepl is running but not syncing??

["Casper Angelo" <c.angelo@ofir.com>]

I need two slaves to my master directory. I used to run replication
between them, but having 400.000+ entries and lots of changes constanly
there has been slips, where modifications simply gets lost somewhere in
the replication.

So I would like to use SyncRepl instead, to insure a perfect copy on my
slave ldaps. 

The three machines are identical: 
	Debian
	ReiserFS
	OpenLDAP 2.2.23-5

Only difference is master running hdb ldapbackend, and the slaves
running ldbm.


I setup the following in the master:

===== MASTER ==========================
Sessionlog 100 500
=======================================


And the following in both slaves

===== SLAVES ==========================
syncrepl rid=102		(103 in the other slave)
        provider=ldap://openldap01
        type=refreshAndPersist
        interval=00:00:10:00
        searchbase="o=Ofir"
        filter="(objectClass=*)"
        scope=sub
        schemachecking=off
        updatedn= <dn>
        bindmethod=simple
        binddn= <dn>
        credentials= <passwd>
=======================================

In both master and slaves, all traces of replication setup has been
removed.

When all three servers are started, the two slaves connect to the master
as they are supposed to:

=======================================
openldap01:~# lsof -i tcp:ldap
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
slapd   13315 root    6u  IPv4 757901       TCP *:ldap (LISTEN)
slapd   13315 root    9u  IPv4 758169       TCP
openldap01:ldap->openldap02:32806 (ESTABLISHED)
slapd   13315 root   10u  IPv4 758632       TCP
openldap01:ldap->openldap03:32793 (ESTABLISHED)
=======================================

In the slaves directory the update cokies are created:
=======================================
openldap02:~# slapcat -k

[snip root entries]

dn: cn=syncrepl102,o=ofir     (dn: cn=syncrepl103,o=ofir in the other
slave)
objectClass: top
objectClass: subentry
objectClass: syncConsumerSubentry
cn: syncrepl102
subtreeSpecification: {}
syncreplCookie: csn=20050526104319Z#000001#00#000000
entryUUID: 4cc448ae-6221-1029-8fa9-fee3d57bfab2
creatorsName: cn=admin,o=Ofir
createTimestamp: 20050526110148Z
entryCSN: 20050526110148Z#000001#00#000000
modifiersName: cn=admin,o=Ofir
modifyTimestamp: 20050526110148Z

=======================================


So all in all, everything seems to run like it's supposed to. And when
the slaves start, they recieve the root entries, thats been slapadd'ed
to the master, but a large group of 'ou' entries thats been ldapadd'ed
to the server is not synched. When I add new entries to the master ldap,
nothing happens on the slaves.

Running the slave ldap in debug mode, shows me no activity at all when I
add new entries to the master.

Any good ideas anyone?
