Hello List, I am closing in on my target date to switch over to FDS. On my test machines I have been running with FC4. I need to re-install the operating system and when I do I will have to use RHEL4. My plan was to shutdown the DS. Then make a tarball of /opt/fedora-ds and several other directories. Next re-install with RHEL4 Drop in my iptables Install fedora-ds and verify the OS / performance settings. Then extract my fedora-ds tarball and then hold my breath and start the DS service(s) and presto all is well??? Does this sound like a feasible approach? I am a little unsure if it will break any of my configured ssl stuff. Which is a basic self-signed scenario using the /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin/certutil for the key generation.

You might be able to "trick" it by installing the Fedora RPM and then untarring over top of that. rob

What about only untarring the following directories from my backed up DS from /opt/fedora-ds: admin-serv alias slapd-[hostname] Then I should have my config, ssl, and directory with my 99user schema. Would this be cleaner?

The only snag I ran into was the pid file in the slapd-[host]/logs directory. Permissions looked ok, but until I actually removed it did it fire up and run. Replicaton and all seems to be working. I still have my other replica to redo so I will have a chance to double verify this migration path. Will post if anything bad happens.
