Fedora directory users - Aug 2006 - Replication of o=NetscapeRoot

I''ve got 2 machines in multimaster replication across a WAN link. 
I''m
replicating our root suffix (userRoot) successfully.  I''m storing
o=NetscapeRoot on box01 right now, and want to replicate that to 02 (using
2-way multimaster) and have 02 use its local copy so I have console failover
as described in the howto in the wiki.
What I''m unclear on, though, is where I should be creating the user for
replication.  Right now, I have cn=Replication Manager, cn=config, meaning
that the user is in o=NetscapeRoot.  The docs specify that the replication
user cannot exist in the database you''re replicating...so where should
it
go?


Thanks in advance!

The "cn=config" suffix is not in "o=Netscape Root".  It is
it''s own
suffix that is really uses the dse.ldif file as it''s "back-end 
database".  You can use the same user that you already have for 
replicating "o=Netscape Root".

Oh, that makes sense!  I''ll give it a shot, thanks very much!
