[Fedora-directory-users] Restored dirsrv on another system but now it does not return any entries for queries

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi,

I was trying to move our dirsrv to another machine, so I installed
Fedora-DS on the new server, backed up the original machine, restored
it on the new server, which seemed to go OK.

If I do "ldapsearch -x '*'" on the new server, I seem to get the
correct results, however, if I do 'getent passwd' I do not get any
entries from dirsrv.

I grabbed packet captures from doing 'getent passwd' where LDAP points
at the original dirsrv server and the new one (boy, I knew that all
that work I did on Ethereal would come in handy one day) and the
difference is that against the original dirsrv server I get back all
the posixAccount (or something) entries, but against the new dirsrv
server, I get back zero entries. However, the queries are the same.

The log file on the new dirsrv server also says zero entries returned.

What have I forgotten? I haven't yet switched on lots of debugging to
find out what is wrong on the new server, but I guess that is the next
step if no one can think of something obvious I have done wrong.
