Replicating openldap

["James M. Moe" <moe_jim@burr-brown.com>]

    I have an openldap v1.2.4 as the master LDAP, and a v1.1.2 as the
slave, both on RedHat 5.2 Linux.
    When a change is made to the master, it is propogated to the slave
but the change is not made at the slave. No error is returned, no *.rej
file(s). (In the slave's debug output I did notice a "9::referral"
return code. Hmmm.)
    When a change is made to the slave, it is referred to the master.
No change is made in either one.

    What am I doing wrong?


P.S.: I did check the FAQ-o-matic. Not much there.
