Basic replication and ldif2ds

ldif2ds does not replicate changes when adding entries to the replicating server. If you are using ldif2ds to add entries to a replicating server you must also use it to add entries to each replica, with no intervening updates on the replicating server before the replica is loaded.

In order to maintain directory integrity, a load utility (ldif2ds) should be used on a read-only or peer replica only when initially populating the replica directory. If a load utility is used to add entries to a replica server after initial population, these changes are not reflected in the master directory. The replica directory might give erroneous information.
