I'm sure this was tried successfully by the development team, but
for
all the admins out there: setting up a Fedora Directory on RHEL
3/Intel as a consumer of an existing Sun One on Solaris/Sparc supplier
is seamless. Took all of 25 minutes after downloading the rpm to get
my 30,000+ entry development environment replicated to a test box. I
figured this would not require alot of effort, just didn't anticipate
it would be almost *no* effort. For anyone considering migrating their
LDAP environment to x86 Linux the release of the Red Hat/Fedora
Directory product is going to be a watershed event.
DS7.1 retains backward compatibility with previous versions for
the replication protocol (although DS7.1 when replicating with
'itself' will use a slightly different protocol that is significantly more
efficient over high-latency network paths).
Replication protocol compatibility with Sun isn't a supported or tested
feature, but it should work provided Sun haven't changed their
product to make it incompatible since the two codelines diverged.
