Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't seem to be working. I run the
command and get a response. It says:

adding new entry "cn=memberOf_fixup_2011_11_4_18_46_11, cn=memberOf
task, cn=tasks, cn=config"
modify complete

But the memberOf attributes don't appear (on either server - I have 2
servers replicating).

There are a couple of suspicious errors in the dirsrv log file:

[04/Nov/2011:18:30:53 -0400] schema-compat-plugin - warning: no
entries set up under cn=ng, cn=compat, dc=example,dc=com
[04/Nov/2011:18:30:53 -0400] schema-compat-plugin - warning: no
entries set up under ou=SUDOers, dc=example,dc=com
[04/Nov/2011:18:30:53 -0400] - Skipping CoS Definition cn=Password
Policy,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com--no CoS Templates found, which
should be added before the CoS Definition.
[04/Nov/2011:18:30:53 -0400] - Skipping CoS Definition cn=Password
Policy,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com--no CoS Templates found, which
should be added before the CoS Definition.

The other server contains similar lines and also shows some errors
when I rebooted the first server. But eventually it shows:

Replication bind with GSSAPI auth resumed

So I guess it's all OK?

Thanks,

Dan
