Hi, I've noticed that if you remove and reinstall FDS, the admin console tries to connect by default to the port that the admin server was running during the previous installation. So the settings are stored somewhere, I guess. I've run into a problem when I've moved a server behind a firewall. Even though I've reinstalled the RPM, the LDAP server still tries to connect to a replication slave which is no more accessible, I suppose due to some settings being stored somewhere. So the startup is hanging. I've looked for hidden files in root's home dir, but there are none. I'm removing the /opt/fedora-ds directory each time after removing the RPM, so that's not it either. Where else could the settings be stored?
