12 is used to propagate changes from one slapd database to another. If
13 slapd is configured to produce a replication log,
16 replication log and sends the changes to the slave
19 via the LDAP protocol.
21 is typically invoked at boot time, usually out of
26 normally forks and disassociates itself from the invoking tty,
27 then reads the replication log (given either by the
31 config file, or by the
34 If the replication log file does not exist or is empty,
36 goes to sleep. It periodically wakes up and checks to see if there
37 are any changes to be propoagated.
41 notices that there are changes to propagate to slave
43 instances, it locks the replication log, makes its own private copy,
44 releases the lock, and forks one copy of itself for each replica
46 to be updated. Each child process binds to the slave
55 config file, and sends the changes.

62 .BI \-d " debug\-level"
63 Turn on debugging as defined by
65 If this option is specified,
67 will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. Some general
68 operation and status messages are printed for any value of \fIdebug\-level\fP.
69 \fIdebug\-level\fP is taken as a bit string, with each bit corresponding to a
70 different kind of debugging information. See <ldap.h> for details.
72 .BI \-f " slapd\-config\-file"
73 Specifies the slapd configuration file. The default is
74 .BR ETCDIR/slapd.conf .
76 .BI \-r " slapd\-replog\-file"
77 Specifies the name of the
79 replication logfile. Normally, the name
80 of the replication log file is read from the
85 option allows you to override this. In conjunction with the
87 option, you can process a replication log file in a "one\-shot" mode. For
90 has encountered errors in processing a replication log,
91 you can run it in one\-shot mode and give the rejection file name as
92 the argument to the \-r option, once you've resolved the problem which caused
93 the replication to fail.
96 Run in "one\-shot" mode. Normally,
98 processes the replog file
99 and then watches for more replication entries to be appended. In
102 processes a replication log and exits.
106 copies the replication log to a working directory before processing it.
107 This option allows you to specify the location of these temporary files.
111 .BI \-k " srvtab\-file"
112 Specify the location of the kerberos srvtab file which contains keys
115 instances. Overrides the srvtab argument to the
116 replica directive in the
122 and have it fork and detach from the terminal and process
123 the replication logs generated by
