 Yup, right, I parsed everything before the colon (:) and then grabbed 
everything after the equal (=), because I have host=name:socket instead of 
uri=ldap:name (which throws an extra colon in there).

 The grep just gets all replica lines that haven't been commented out.

 I suppose I should have grabbed the replica name with a backreference to a 
regex instead of all the grep and gawk slop, but I just used the first thing I 
thought of.  I dumped the bash commands to a file before executing them so I 
could eyeball them before reaching the point of no return.

 I have a script that lets me reload any number of replicas with a single 
command, regardless of versions and backends (all hail the power and glory of 
slapadd!).  It can rsync the schema at the same time.  But when I did the samba 
upgrade, I needed to modify my ACLs and indexes in slapd.conf, which my script 
does not do.
