If a server is a syncrepl slave you can't directly make changes (i.e. it is read only). I had similar problems with entries not getting synced. I'm using multi-master mode so I was able to fix it by doing it manually. One thing you could try is running slapd with "-c rid=$RID" where $RID is the syncrepl rid. This forces a complete resync so make sure to not to leave it in your start scripts or you'll be resyncing everything you restart the server. Matt Edlefsen Computing Services Earlham College
