openSUSE 11.3 should be fine in your case. (BTW, which product did you
install the 2.4.21 package on?)

As the overlays are compiled statically into the slapd binary there is no
need to load any module. So you can just leave out the cn=module object.

It's a bit hard to tell, what got wrong there. But it could be e.g. that
you try to replicate a database which doesn't have the syncprov overlay
configured. Take a look at your provider's configuration and check that
each database that you want to replicate has the syncprov overlay
configured. If that doesn't help. Open a new thread on openldap-technical
containing the complete configuration (excluding the Schema) for the
provider and the consumer.
