Re: How to delete my garbage DB?
Look in your <install-root>/openldap/etc/slapd.conf file to see where
you have the database. Based on your description, this is probably
/usr/tmp.
There will be a line looking something like:
directory /usr/tmp
Create a directory somewhere to hold the database. For example:
mkdir <install-root>/openldap/db
Edit slapd.conf to indicate the new directory:
directory <install-root>/openldap/db
You are now pointing to an empty (nonexistent) database. Don't worry
about deleting the files in /tmp; they'll go away when your machine
next reboots.
Next time you want to throw away the contents of the database, you now
know where it resides, so you can just say:
/bin/rm -f <install-root>/openldap/db/*
to get rid of it and restart.
