1) machine1 is a member of a multimaster group.

2) machine2 was configure as a dedicated consumer.

3) initialization was successfully initated and completed from machine1 to machine 2.

4) from the 389 console on machine2 a backup of the database was created.

5) from the 389 console on machine2 the replication agreement was deleted but I did not disable replication.

6) from the 389 console on machine1 the replication agreement with machine 2 was deleted

7) from the 389 console on machine2 I deleted the object dc=xxx,dc=yyy,ou=macosx

8) from the 389 console on machie2 I restored the database, the object in step 7 was restored

9) from the 389 console on machine2 I deleted the object dc=xxx,dc=yyy,ou=People

10) the deletion from step 9 was propagated back to machine1 and then out to all the replication agreements on machine1

11) from the 389 console on machine2 I restored the database

12) the restoration from step 11 was again propagated to machine1 and then out to all the replication agreements on machine 1

....so why, did the deletions get replicated back to machine1 after the replication agreement was deleted? ...and since machine2 was a dedicated consumer, I thought it couldn't make updates to machine1 even with the replication agreement in place?

Thanks!
