The RID value is a unique number in a given replica used to specifically identify that particular syncrepl statement. It really only matters if you have multiple syncrepl statements in a given slapd configuration for a replica. For me, since I only replicate from a single master, I use the same RID value on all my replicas. With MMR, there is also the SID, which may be the other part you are thinking of, but if you aren't using MMR, it doesn't apply. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Engineer Zimbra, Inc -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
