The FAQ indicates that the 'retry' option should be a comma-separated list: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1118.html
However, all of the examples from the section on replication in the Admin Guide seem to show them as being space-delimited values: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Syncrepl
Which is correct?
Both.
If you examine the source, you find:
slap_str2clist( &retry_list, val, " ,\t" );i.e., it accepts a space, a comma, or a tab, as delimiters.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, Quanah. Gavin, should the documentation be updated to reflect this?
The docs only present the "," because that's the preferred way. The other forms are supported mainly for historical reasons. You should stick with the documentation. The tests should use the documented form.
I checked several sources, but none seemed to definitively identify all of the acceptable delimiters. I'm happy to submit a patch for the Admin Guide, if you like?
A patch for the tests would be preferable.
