+ <para>
+ When Samba is asked to write to a read-only LDAP replica, we are redirected to talk to the read-write master server.
+ This server then replicates our changes back to the 'local' server, however the replication might take some seconds,
+ especially over slow links. Certain client activities, particularly domain joins, can become confused by the 'success'
+ that does not immediately change the LDAP back-end's data.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This option simply causes Samba to wait a short time, to allow the LDAP server to catch up. If you have a particularly
+ high-latency network, you may wish to time the LDAP replication with a network sniffer, and increase this value accordingly.
+ Be aware that no checking is performed that the data has actually replicated.

+ <para>
+ The value is specified in milliseconds, the maximum value is 5000 (5 seconds).
