[Samba] adding computer account fails in LDAP replication environment

[Abdul-Wahid Paterson]

Hi,

I have two Samba domains (SITEA and SITEB) that authenticate against
to LDAP servers. The LDAP server at SITEA replicates to SITEB.

At SITEB smbldap-tools uses the LDAP server at SITEA and the samba
uses the LDAP server at SITEB. Updates to the LDAP server at SITEB are
refferred to SITEA. The replication and update referrals are working
fine.

However, when I try to add a computer account most of the account gets
added correctly and I can see the computer account profile on both
servers. However, the following changes fail to replicate to the slave
due to a "dnMatch" failiure. What is that all about? What does it
mean? Why do the other changes replicate fine but these changes fail
to replicate

This is what shows on the LDAP server at SITEB when the changes are
replicated.......

It is something to do with the dn for the udpates by why are they mismatched?
