Re: BDB auto-recovery fileownership

Eek, that was an awful incomplete post :(

Problem:

After a 'crash', OpenLDAP does a auto-recovery of the database environment, but it set the filepermissions of "__db.*" to root:root. 
Slapd runs as user 'ldap' and is therefore unable to continue after a auto-recovery has taken place. Manually changing the ownership 
to 'ldap.ldap' and restarting the service is required for the deamon to work again.

Environment:

OpenLDAP: openldap-2.3.14-3.1.srpm
BDB: 4.5.52

Build on a Fedora Core 3 host. I used the 2.3.11 specs file from Fedora Expiremental, and changed it to build 2.3.14 with BDB 4.5.42 
in stead.

bye,
Chris
