I've exactly the same problem. See http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200412/msg00080.html Luca had an advice to run db_recover after system start and before OL starts. Thanks I will try it. But I don't like to test it on production server. :-) Atti -- Szüts Attila Linux Support Center Kft. Email: aszuts@lsc.hu
