Multi-master setup in debian



Hi,

I've "inherited" from a former sysadmin (among many other things) an LDAP server to administer :) ... it's installed on Debian 6.0; it's currently working ok but the company has another remote site now and wants to have a secondary LDAP server on the new location (in order to support the new remote users).

Looking into the documentation I think the best configuration option is a N-way multi-master replication setup; unfortunately, I don't have experience with LDAP so I found difficult to implement this; I've found some good tutorials on the web but they're written for other versions of LDAP (for example, they use slapd.conf but on Debian, the configuration is in several directories under /etc/ldap/slapd.d).

My big question is: ¿do you know of any resource (url link, book, whatever) that I can use as a reference to make this configuration? (in particular, I'd be more than happy if provides some examples in Debian). Of course, I'm willing to do my own work (study, research, etc) but I need some guidance regarding where to start (assume I have little LDAP knowledge).

Thanks in advance for any help, tip, etc you may have!
