IIRC, you have to build from source... - openssl - kerberos - cyrus-sasl - db4 - openldap I built everything in /usr/local and just left the distribution packages intact and it worked. I believe that Buchan Milne offers rpm packages that can install on CentOS-4 and certainly Symas/Connexitor has rpm packages that you can install but it wasn't that hard to build it from source. 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. Craig
