Re: how to migrate openldap from one server to another

["Chris G. Sellers" <chris.sellers@nitle.org>]

You may want to install 2.4 of OpenLDAP too, 2.2 is very old and is  
not the supported tree.  Also, be careful of using Redhat's packages  
for OpenLDAP as a server, there have been reported issues with that.   
Search the openldap lists for OpenLDAP and redhat and read the comments.
