I have Fedora Directory Server 1.0.2 installed on
Redhat Linux.  I am trying to come up with a
Disaster Recovery kickstart install of the server,
Directory Server (DS) and DS contents.

I tried ds_newinst.pl, as described in the Fedora DS Install
Guide, to create a new DS instance from the command line,
using the following   ".inf" file:

[General]
FullMachineName=   drtest.cusys.edu
SuiteSpotUserID=   ldap
ServerRoot=   /opt/fedora-ds
[slapd]
ServerPort=   40003
ServerIdentifier=   sisauth
Suffix=   dc=cusys,dc=edu
RootDN=   cn=Directory Manager
RootDNPwd=   xxxxxxxx

It executed successfully, created the expected directory structure, the DS is listening on the correct port, but when I go to the Console, the 2nd "sisauth" instance, the first being "config" isn't there. How can that be?

ds_newinst.pl does not register any information in the console - it merely creates/copies in the config files. ds_newinst.pl was created for the 7.1 release which used pre-open source setup, console, and admin server code. We needed a way to create an instance using completely open source code, which meant we could not use setup, console, admin server, etc. But this is a moot point since the 1.0 release of open source everything.

If you need to create a new instance from the command line, and have all of the admin server/console registration done, you should use bin/slapd/admin/bin/ds_create e.g.
cd bin/slapd/admin/bin
./ds_create -s -f /path/to/your/install.inf
