Then, when >setup-ds-admin.pl tries to add those, it should be ok if they already exist. Thanks I will try the re-ordering and see if I can get it working that way. I discovered a previous thread with the same file which also mentions a bug in the documentation. The bug still exists I will raise an bugzilla to get the documentation clarified on the requirements of creating a root entry. The thread I am referring to is: http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-directory-users at redhat.com/msg08032.html Something else occurred to me. If you have a shared/replicated NetscapeRoot database and lets say 12 servers over 3 datacentres, 6 providers and 6 consumers. You will end up with 12 servers in a multimaster group for the netscaperoot database but only 6 servers in a multi master setup for the userdata database. That seems quite a lot of masters for NetscapeRoot. Is that considered to many and/or is there any recommendations when having that many servers?
