CentOS - Jun 2008 - LDAP syncrepl incompatibility between CentOS 4.x and 5.x

All,

After many hours of research I have found there is a incompatibility
between OpenLDAP V2.3.x and V2.2.x, or atleast between V2.3.27 the
current version on CentOS V5 and V2.2.13 the current version on CentOS
V4.

The syncrepl feature of OpenLDAP, to keep multiple slapd servers
sync'd, was working between CentOS 4 and 5 at one time, as that is how
I populated the "slave" servers.

I've found references indicating protocol changes and
incompatibilities between these versions and indeed looking at
detailed debugging logs I can see the protocol falling apart between
the two versions.

Has anyone else seen this issue?  Is anyone aware of a fix in the
pipeline or a work around?

Thanks in advance,

Brett

Compile the source rpm from centos 5.x on a 4.x system and upgrade the
4.x systems to it ? (short of upgrading the entire OS to 5.x if you
don't want to do that it can be a major change depending on your
environment)
