Hi All,

Here's the 22nd tip in the "OpenLDAP Quick Tips" series:

This tip won't actually go into the technical setup (and isn't very quick ) of the different replication types, we'll leave that for another set of tips. You can always read up on them yourself in the Replication section of the OpenLDAP 2.4 Administrator's Guide.
