I think the replication error may be a response to the crash, and not necessarily a clue to the the cause. 
 
One of the slapd processes just crashed again, and the logs on the second server show only the same replication error.  I take it to mean the replication can't continue, because the slapd process on the other server has crashed.
 
Anyway, today is the first time in 5 months that either of these servers has had any issue whatsoever.  Are there other documented instances of the fedora server crashing hard without generating errors? 
We're running 1.0.2.
 
$ uname -r -v -p -i -o

Thanks!

Make sure that when you created an account for replication that the acount did not expire and lock out.

Hi-

This morning a multi-master pair that has been running since Nov. 5
crashed.  There is only one clue, in the error log of one of the
directories:

NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=auth_ldap2 to auth_ldap1" (ldap:389):
Unable to receive the response for a startReplication extended operation
to consumer (Can't contact LDAP server). Will retry later.

That appears to be the last thing either process said before they both
gave up, almost simultaneously.

Can anyone help me understand what happened?

It looks like the replication agreements survived; at least, in the
replication configuration section of each directory's console, there is
a message with a current time saying "Incremental update succeeded."

Thanks!

Justin
