Sometimes, when trying to install the replica I get errors trying to connect to the master via SSH: [root@ipa3 ~]# ipa-replica-install /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-ipa3.xyzzy.com.gpg Directory Manager (existing master) password: Run connection check to master Check connection from replica to remote master 'ipa2.xyzzy.com': Directory Service: Unsecure port (389): OK Directory Service: Secure port (636): OK Kerberos KDC: TCP (88): OK Kerberos Kpasswd: TCP (464): OK HTTP Server: Unsecure port (80): OK HTTP Server: Secure port (443): OK The following list of ports use UDP protocol and would need to be checked manually: Kerberos KDC: UDP (88): SKIPPED Kerberos Kpasswd: UDP (464): SKIPPED Connection from replica to master is OK.

I don't understand why this is happening on some hosts and not others. Any ideas? ~J </body> </html>
