+.SH UPDATES
+The update process (setup-ds.pl -u) can work in one of two modes:
+
+\fBOnline\fR: Configuration changes are made to the running directory servers
+using LDAP. The operations must be performed as an administrative
+user. You must provide the name and password, for each instance if
+there is more than one instance of directory server. Some changes (e.g. plug-ins)
+may require a directory server restart to take effect. The update
+script will notify you if a restart is required.
+
+\fBOffline\fR: The changes are made to the server configuration files.
+The servers \fBMUST FIRST BE SHUTDOWN BY YOU\fR. The script will not
+shutdown the servers for you. \fBYou MUST\fR shutdown the servers in order
+to use this mode. A username and password are not required to use
+Offline mode. If the servers are not shutdown, \fBCHANGES WILL BE LOST\fR.
+
+To summarize:
+
+Online \- servers remain running - you must provide admin name and password for each server - servers may need to be restarted
+
+Offline \- servers \fBmust be shutdown\fR - no username or password required
