I can see in my logs that the other server is attempting to syncronize. The bind operation appears succesful, but then the sync fails with the following error:
Feb 19 16:17:18 drab slapd[27432]: conn=10 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=2 nentries=0 text=illegal value for derefAliases
At a guess you have the DEREF option set in an ldap.conf or ldaprc file somewhere and it's getting sucked into slapd's default libldap context.
Yes, I had DEREF=always in my ~/.ldaprc. Thanks!
