Re: Openldap version 2.2.13 with db_recover
Hi Buchan
Thanks for replying. i have now decided to go with openldap 2.3.19. so that
it does automatic recovery.
in 2.3 also do we have to mention checkpoint. if so, how do we keep
checkpoints and what value should
be assigned.
my database will have more 10000 entries (i am using ldap for samba so i
would be
having about 300 users and 600 groups and 300 computers)
so having this, what would be checkpoint value if so.
Regards
Niranjan
