[Fedora-directory-users] Need a replica on sles10
Hello. I need to set up a replica server for a SLES10 environment which will connect to a FDS master. I would prefer to do this one of two ways: 1) Build/install FDS on SLES10; or 2) Have openldap''s slurpd talk to the master FDS, and then use openldap slapd on the SLES10 box to serve ldap. I''ve seen in the archives that someone had dsbuild working on SLES9 last December, but then he was unable to get it to setup/run properly. Has anyone succeded with this on either SLES9 or SLES10? I haven''t given slurpd a try yet. Does anyone know if it is compatible with FDS? Thanks in advance. -- John Griffin-Wiesner Linux Cluster/Unix Systems Administrator Univ.

Netscape Directory Server 1.x used a replication mechanism that was derived from slurpd (but the slurp functionality was included in the main server). That code used the older slurp-compatible logging. The present day FDS has multi-master replication that is entirely different and uses quite different logging. However, for backwards compatibility reasons (with older Netscape 4.x servers and before), the old log format was preserved as a configurable option. Hence the thought that possibly slurpd is still compabible with that legacy changelog format. However, my personal recommendation would be that you get FDS to build and run on SLES. My belief is that will be easier/quicker/cheaper to do than to figure out if slurpd/FDS will work together. There are just so many things that can go wrong, and proving that it works properly is a non-trivial project.
