i think i solved it(haven't had time to test, but it
should be fixed).

the problem was i had the replica/replog stuff in the
wrong part of the config file, as a result i got this
error when i set debug 65535:

270:/etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 29: replica line must appear inside a
database definition (ignored)

i moved it to what i think is inside a database definition
and i do not get that error anymore, but haven't had
time to test. someone on the openldap-software list
said they were pretty sure that should fix it so
later tonight i'll have a chance to test.

from what i can tell the openldap docs do not mention
where these directives must be, so i thought they
could be anywhere..(docs = referring to openldap
admin guide)

thanks!
