Add shared/config, clients/orgchart/config.txt, clients/dsgw/context,
clients/dsgw/pbconfig, and clients/dsgw/config to that list as well.
This worked. The only snag I ran into was the pid file in the
slapd-[host]/logs directory. Permissions looked ok, but until I actually
removed it did it fire up and run.
Replicaton and all seems to be working.
I still have my other replica to redo so I will have a chance to double verify
this migration path.
Will post if anything bad happens.
Thanks Again,
