That said, I don't recall syncrepl ever working in 2.2.x and have used slurpd for replicating with 2.2 but if the OP says he thinks he had it running, well, I'm not gonna argue with him.
syncrepl 2.2.x works fine between CentOS 4 systems as installed via yum. I just used this today, made changes on the master that I needed on to use on the slave, the replication was instant.
The issue is between 2.2.x and 2.3.x. What I said I thought worked was replication from CentOS 4.x to CentOS 5.x (ie. 2.2.x -> 2.3.x), as when I brought the CentOS 5.x on-line and started slapd, the LDAP database was almost instantly available. I never used any other method to load the LDAP data on the CentOS 5.x system from the CentOS 4.x master.
It is only recently that I noticed the replication failing, I believe after a recent yum update.
I have looked at using yum to regress the version of LDAP on the CentOS 5.x system, but it seems I needed to have turned on a yum option before the update to do this. I also noticed all the dependencies as far as trying to build myself.
My assumption is that eventually newer versions of LDAP will be available that will work.
