Hi there,
Would people mind offering advice as to which database type I should use
with openldap?
The machine will be a web, email, etc server. Dual Opteron 246 with 4gb
ram, 3 x 300gb sata drives in hardware raid 5.

I am trying to get openldap to be the central authentication system for
sftp and courier, hold aliases etc for postfix, as well as dns entries
through bind, and if I can get mod_cfg_ldap to work then also vhosts for
apache2.

Most likely you should use a bdb or hdb database type in slapd.conf, with Berkely DB 4.2.52+patches.
