I have rebuilt the system and reinitialised the roots from the other 
multi-master. The directory server looks as though it is working 
properly and I can connect to the admin server from one of the other 
machines that is running the older version of the code 
(fedora-idm-console) but if I run the same command on the restored box 
then it will not do anything just sits there having typed in the 
command. How do I diagnose and fix this?
