None of the answers was valid actually. If I could start all over, I wouldn't ask, right? What it has to do ? It has to do the fact that in this kind of replication you are replicating cn=config as well, which usually in other kinds is not the case. And yes, I read the link you mentioned, hint: the word "status" shows up there three times in one sentence that does *not* mention anything about external checking of LDAP replication status. Ergo, if you don't want to help, don't frustrate the asker :) -- Best regards, Radosław Antoniuk
