Quanah,

Thanks for your response.

I don't want to waste your, or the lists time.  The problem I had was
that there were attributes in my slapcat'd ldif file that were not
specified in my new slapd.conf file for 2.4.

Rather than have you guys hold my hand through each step I'd like to
find some documentation as to what changes I can expect to have to
make (noting there is a ppolicy and a ppolicy-2.4).

The other thing to note is that the "Manager" in my slapd2.3 config
(on gentoo) is dn: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" - whereas with my new
setup (on Debian) it's defaulting to "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com."

If possible I'd like to set up 2.4 to simply mirror the old directory
using syncrepl and populate it in that way (if possible).

However, please tell me if you feel I'm wasting the list members' time
with this.

Regards,

Andy Loughran
