Re: UserID's clearing after reboot

Sounds like someone didn't run db_recover after improperly
shutting down slapd(8).

Only the uid set in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf under the 'access to attr' directive remains and is able to readd the other userid's.  This is becoming a problem because more and more userid's are being added and each time the server is rebooted we have to readd them.   All files in /var/lib/ldap are the same, including the id2entry.bdb file, which I've read is the main database file to be backed up.  Are the userid's and password's cached somewhere and not being written to disk?  Or is there a temporary file being cleared?  I'm running ldap on a SLES9 server.
