OpenLDAP ITS:

OK the issue is looking more and more like buggy slapd behavior.

I have now narrowed down the issue to an instance where slapd is  
partially "hung" and will not stop nor restart.  This directly  
correlates to replication breaking because SLAPD is breaking:

Oct 11 18:22:08 server1 slapd[10771]: <= bdb_equality_candidates:  
(uidNumber) not indexed
Oct 11 18:22:08 server1 slapd[10771]: <= bdb_equality_candidates:  
(gidNumber) not indexed
Oct 11 18:22:08 server1 slapd[10771]: <= bdb_equality_candidates:  
(uidNumber) not indexed
Oct 11 18:46:41 server1 slapd[10771]: <= bdb_equality_candidates:  
(uidNumber) not indexed
Oct 11 18:48:37 server1 slapd[10771]: <= bdb_equality_candidates:  
(uidNumber) not indexed
Oct 11 18:49:05 server1 slapd[10771]: daemon: shutdown requested and  
initiated.
Oct 11 18:49:05 server1 slapd[10771]: slapd shutdown: waiting for 0  
operations/tasks to finish

As you can see, the exact time when this occurs doesn't bring anything  
interesting to the logs.  You can see the repeated string of index  
warnings (not an issue, just haven't indexed this attribute yet)  
followed by my attempt to restart slapd when I receive a notification  
indicating there is a replication discrepancy.

I have grepped through all of my logs (dmesg, debug, syslog) for  
anything related to slapd. What you see above is the more interesting  
of the hits returned.

PLEASE help -- the issue is getting more serious now, and by the  
evidence I've presented, is looking more and more out of my control.

You've seen my config - can anyone think of why this would happen? It  
seems vaguely like a locking issue ....

Thanks
