Re: syncrepl slaves all quit after master restart - not a single retry

You have no "retry" parameter in your syncrepl config, so naturally it does not retry. It always helps to actually Read The correct FM, slapd.conf(5) in your case.

I'd also note that slapd will issue

syncrepl rid=003 searchbase="ou=tree,ou=name": no retry defined, using default

if no retry is configured; one should at least wonder what that message means. I'd favor refusing to start if no retry is configured, since replication is not reliable without.

That message was added in 2.4, these guys are using 2.3. At this point I've grown tired of telling people "you're using an obsolete release, you should upgrade."
