Fedora 9 and OpenLDAP replication

[Seann Clark]

All,

    I am a little stumped. I have a few small LDAP's running, or being 
set up, and after a small amount of research into it, I found that 
OpenLDAP 2.4 that ships with Fedora9 and is in the repo's doesn't use 
the old method of replication of databases. I found information on 
setting up the new form of replication (syncprov) but I have run into a 
problem. When I set up the slapd.conf file with

overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100

I get this when I go to check the config file for validity before 
starting (or restarting) the ldap servers:

Checking configuration files for slapd:                    [FAILED]
overlay "syncprov" not found
slaptest: bad configuration file!



What I also looked into with this is where the overlays are defined, and 
from what I have found about this is:

When using /slapd.conf/(5), overlays that are configured before any 
other databases are considered global, as mentioned above. In fact they 
are implicitly stacked on top of the frontend database. They can also be 
explicitly configured as such:

        database frontend
        overlay <overlay name>


Official overlays are located in

        servers/slapd/overlays/

That directory also contains the file slapover.txt, which describes the 
rationale of the overlay implementation, and may serve as a guideline 
for the development of custom overlays.

Contribware overlays are located in

        contrib/slapd-modules/<overlay name>/

along with other types of run-time loadable components; they are 
officially distributed, but not maintained by the project.


I can't find that servers/slapd/overlays, or anything else relating to 
it. Outside of the binary for openldap and the /etc directory for it, I 
can find no trace of the program install itself

If anyone can offer insight I would greatly appreciate it.
