The be_private pointer is just that, private to each backend. The slapd frontend doesn't know anything about what it points to. In back-ldap it's created in init.c:ldap_back_db_init(); most other backends do a similar thing. The db_init routines are called during slapd startup, long before any request processing occurs. -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp.
