If one thinks about it, it is obvious that each participating peer has to be informed about its sid, as other peers are not participating prior to the initial setup, its only one sid. After starting all peers, they have to be informed about all particiating sids, that is prior to adding any data the sids have to be anounced. So my initial configuration was as you described above. After the initial setup I added all sids with a small shell script, copied from test050, $LDAPMODIFY -x -D cn=config -H $HOST -w $CPW <<EOF dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcServerID olcServerID: 1 $URL1 olcServerID: 2 $URL2 EOF Now the contextCSN looks like contextCSN: 20081022192158.873555Z#000000#001#000000 contextCSN: 20081022184543.202017Z#000000#002#000000 note the different sids 001, 002. ContextCSN, that is time + sid, indicate which peer modified the database last. -Dieter -- Dieter Klünter | Systemberatung http://www.dpunkt.de/buecher/2104.html GPG Key ID:8EF7B6C6 53°08'09,95"N 10°08'02,42"E
