[Fedora-directory-users] change port on DS/AS

[Jeff Clowser]

Think of it this way (doing this from memory):

-  Config info  for _other servers_ (such as admin) is held in the 
directory under o=netscaperoot.  DS itself does not "use" any of this. 
It's important to understand that directory and admin are 2 separate 
servers.
-  There is one file (adm.conf?) that tells admin server how to 
initially contact the directory server to lookup this config info.
-  There is a second file (the one under shared/conf?) that is 
effectively a cache of some of what is in the directory, in case you 
start up and the ds is unavailable (this was important back when Console 
was used to manage messaging, and or/use admin server to start directory 
server, etc).  Note that if you change this cache file and restart 
things, it'll get overwritten from what is in o=netscaperoot, if I 
remember correctly.

There are similar issues with changing the IP address.  Note that this 
is an issue with admin server, not directory server itself (i.e. 
changing the port and ip address on directory server works without 
problem, but "breaks" admin and such).
