     1.1  Tree Name Lookup Failure

           While adding 64-bit SLES 10 SP1 as a secondary
          server, the following errors appear on the
          screen:

          Tree names do not match.

          Joining a tree with old version of eDirectory.

          You can ignore these messages and continue the
          eDirectory configuration.


     1.2  Restarting Ndsd Might Dump Core

          The core dump happens randomly. It may not be a
          frequent occurance. 


     1.3  Ldap Bind Might Fail with an Error 

          LDAP bind operation fails randomly with the
          following error message:

                             LDAP_SERVER_DOWN

          This error does not occur if you restart or
          refresh the server.


     1.4  Timing Issues of OES on Xen 

           Connection with eDirectory on guest operating
          system (SLES 10) is lost if the system time
          varies in the host operating system.

          To work around this issue, do the following: 

           1. Shut down the guest operating system.
           2. Type echo 1 >
              /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock in host
              operating system CLI. 
           3. Restart the operating system.


     1.5  Adding eDirectory Server by Using Container Admin
          Prompts Errors

           The error message appears because the user does
          not have the necessary rights to create the
          objects.


     1.6  Unable to Bind with the Simple Password

           After uploading an object using the ICE command
          ice with -l switch, you fail to log in to with
          that objects' credentials. This is because of
          simple password that uses NMAS method fails.
