There are some migration Perl scripts included with Fedora DS that may 
be of use.  But they have not been updated for Sun DS 5.2.

Sun made some changes to their replication protocol for 5.2 to make it 
work better over a WAN.  I'm not exactly sure what they did, but it 
might not be implemented the same way we did ours for 7.1.  However, if 
you don't do WAN replication, then it probably doesn't make any difference.

Did you want to know the differences between Sun DS and Fedora DS in 
replication functionality or in all areas?  There are a few differences 
- Sun DS includes native support for DSMLv2, while we provide support in 
the form of a gateway.  Sun DS 5.2 service pack 3 supports ModDN with 
new superior, Fedora DS only supports ModRDN (i.e. rename in place).  
Other than those two relatively minor differences, the two products are 
almost identical in functionality.
