intermittent issues with the DNA plugin

[Paul Robert Marino]

I'm trying the DNA plugin for the first time based on the document
here http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:DNA

usually it works well but occasionally it doesnt seem to work
correctly for GID numbers.
Ive noticed that if I add a user via the ldapadd command and set the following
"
uidNumber: 99999
gidNumber: 99999

"
the next value for the uidNumber and gidNumber is appropriately set
but occasionally the dnanextvalue for gidNumber fails to increment.

When this happens the next time I add a user the gid number get set to
the same value as the previous user I added. furthermore the
dnanextvalue doesn't increment again.
if I manually update the dnanextvalue for the gidNumber it will then
continue to work properly fro a time then eventually break down again.

I haven't seen any thing on the logs to indicate why this is happening

does any one have any pointers on what might cause this or how to debug it

further more I have a question Ive noticed that when the plugin
updates the value of dnanextvalue it only does it on the local server
not all of them is there any way to get these fields to replicate.

Paul,

What version of 389 are you using?

Can you post your DNA plugin configuration entries from 
cn=config(dse.ldif)?  Also, enabling plugin logging might provide more info.

Thanks,
Mark
