All, I just created an mm-server3, using the config_dbase and main_dbase from mm-server2 -- copied the ldif's I created from mm-server2 then ran slapadd.
On mm-server3: olcServerID: 1 ldap://mm-server1.example.ldap olcServerID: 2 ldap://mm-server2.example.ldap olcServerID: 3 ldap://mm-server3.example.ldap olcSyncrepl: {0} rid=001 provider=mm-server1.example.ldap bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=group42,dc=ldap" credentials=<password> interval=01:00:00:00 searchbase="dc=example,dc=ldap" logbase="cn=accesslog" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=*,+" syncdata=accesslog starttls=no olcSyncrepl: {1} rid=002 provider=mm-server2.example.ldap bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=group42,dc=ldap" credentials=<password> interval=01:00:00:00 searchbase="dc=example,dc=ldap" logbase="cn=accesslog" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=*,+" syncdata=accesslog starttls=no olcSyncrepl: {0} rid=003 provider=mm-server3.example.ldap bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=group42,dc=ldap" credentials=<password> interval=01:00:00:00 searchbase="dc=example,dc=ldap" logbase="cn=accesslog" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=*,+" syncdata=accesslog starttls=no Started slapd, no errors. It immediately sync'd up with mm-server1! Changes that I made on mm-server1 days ago which have never replicated over to mm-server2...replicated to mm-server3 immediately on startup. I had not even got around to adding mm-server3 to mm-server1 (or mm-server2) yet. The olcServerIDs and olcSyncrepl on both mm-server1 and 2 show: olcServerID: 1 ldap://mm-server1.example.ldap olcServerID: 2 ldap://mm-server2.example.ldap olcSyncrepl: {0} rid=001 provider=mm-server1.example.ldap bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=group42,dc=ldap" credentials=<password> interval=01:00:00:00 searchbase="dc=example,dc=ldap" logbase="cn=accesslog" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=*,+" syncdata=accesslog starttls=no olcSyncrepl: {1} rid=002 provider=mm-server2.example.ldap bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=group42,dc=ldap" credentials=<password> interval=01:00:00:00 searchbase="dc=example,dc=ldap" logbase="cn=accesslog" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=*,+" syncdata=accesslog starttls=no So...now, I am at even more of a loss. Why would mm-server1 be replicating to mm-server3 and not 2? When the configs are the same between mm-server2 and 3??? Thanks in advance...

I can understand having each knowing about > the others but why itself? It's replicating to itself? -You replied -It knows about itself so it knows what to ignore. Even in the Admin Guide is specifies setting it up that way...each server has all the others and itself listed. I was following the procedures delineated in the Admin Guide and in the man-pages (including how I understood what was put out on the board): >From the Admin Guide: 8.3.3. N-Way Multi-Master For the following example we will be using 3 Master nodes. Keeping in line with test050-syncrepl-multimaster of the OpenLDAP test suite, we will be configuring slapd(8) via cn=config This sets up the config database: dn: cn=config objectClass: olcGlobal cn: config olcServerID: 1 dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcRootPW: secret second and third servers will have a different olcServerID obviously: dn: cn=config objectClass: olcGlobal cn: config olcServerID: 2 dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcRootPW: secret This sets up syncrepl as a provider (since these are all masters): dn: cn=module,cn=config objectClass: olcModuleList cn: module olcModulePath: /usr/local/libexec/openldap olcModuleLoad: syncprov.la Now we setup the first Master Node (replace $URI1, $URI2 and $URI3 etc. with your actual ldap urls): dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcServerID olcServerID: 1 $URI1 olcServerID: 2 $URI2 olcServerID: 3 $URI3 dn: olcOverlay=syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config changetype: add objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig olcOverlay: syncprov dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config changetype: modify add: olcSyncRepl olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=$URI1 binddn="cn=config" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 olcSyncRepl: rid=002 provider=$URI2 binddn="cn=config" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 olcSyncRepl: rid=003 provider=$URI3 binddn="cn=config" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 - add: olcMirrorMode olcMirrorMode: TRUE I followed what is put in the Admin Guide, etc...
