Hi All, I'm playing with test050, i.e. running it, copying con directory to con2 and then starting the original provider and consumer up. Then starting up con2 on ldap://:9013/ All fine, then I go about adding a new syncrepl on cn=config and dc=example,dc=com pointing to ldap://:9013/ I'm not using LDIF, just messing with JXplorer. Everything worked ok, with a couple of crashes at the point I added a new syncrepl on con2 point to itself. Both pro and con died with: lt-slapd: attr.c:481: attr_merge: Assertion `( nvals == ((void *)0) && (*a)->a_nvals == (*a)->a_vals ) || ( nvals != ((void *)0) && ( ( (*a)->a_vals == ((void *)0) && (*a)->a_nvals == ((void *)0) ) || ( (*a)->a_nvals != (*a)->a_vals ) ) )' failed. Aborted I guess I should pay attention more to the order in test050 and timing. Lastly, how do we define test050 to be a multimaster test when there are only two instances of slapd? Is it because we have 2 sycnrepl on cn=config and then another two on the bdb backends? I thought a test for this would include at least 3 running slapd instances?
