Hi Quanah,
Thanks for the reply- in the meantime is there any way I can apply some "first-aid" to work around the issue and make the ghost OUs appear as expected? I've also asked a similar question on the Grouper mailing list as it may be a case of "garbage in, garbage out".
The behaviour of OpenLDAP is a little bit odd as well though so I'll file an ITS.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
I've been trying to use a tool called "Grouper" to provision a hierarchical structure into my LDAP directory.
I'm currently running OpenLDAP 2.4.25 with BDB 4.8.30 on 3 SL5.5 servers in a multi-master configuration.
During the provisioning process it seems to be hitting a race condition where it creates a higher-level ou before the base-level ou is there resulting in the base-level ou existing in the tree with the "glue" objectClass.
As this is invisible to searches I end up with syncrepl constantly trying to replicate it ad infinitum:
I would suggest filing an ITS with configurations and exact instructions on how to reproduce the issue at http://www.openldap.org/its/
