I could try that sudoers and groups, but what about the attributes (like uidNumber and gidNumber) on the individual users that are in the replicated suffix?

Looks like you're out of luck.  Please file an enhancement request at https://fedorahosted.org/389

I would like to protect certain entries in a hub 389-ds host from getting obliterated during a full re-initialization of an agreement. Strange yes, but hear me out.

To keep duty separation intact, we've set up a scenario where we've got one group managing Active Directory and one 389 server (389-A), and another group maintaining a 389 hub (389-B). 389-A syncs from AD one-way, and then replicates to 389-B.  However, things like sudoers and posix attributes (uids and gids) are managed on 389-B for convenience. Unfortunately, the sudoers OU and uids/gids get destroyed if 389-A performs a re-initialization of the agreement--by design I'm sure.

Is there a way to protect the sudoers OU and specific attributes of users on 389-B in this scenario? It looks like my options are to mess with fractional replication, ACIs, to meticulously back-up these attributes and restore them in the rare event we need to re-initialize, or to give up the convenience and have those attributes managed on 389-A.

Is there no easy answer to this without giving up the ability to manage some things locally on 389-B?

Can you separate the data by suffix?  The unit of replication is a database, so if you can create a sub-suffix in its own database, you could replicate that separately.
