I setup syncrepl for slapd on lisa132 today, its pretty easy, just have to add a couple of things to /etc/ldap/slapd.conf:
rootdn ...
moduleload syncprov
overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100
syncrepl rid=132 provider=ldap://255.255.255.255:389 type=refreshOnly interval=00:00:01:00 searchbase="dc=example,dc=com" filter="(objectClass=*)" scope=sub
Note - after doing this, I checked my setup with ldapsearch. I still had to use the basedn flag:
ldapsearch -x -b dc=example,dc=com
