Openldap experts,
We are running openldap 2.3.30 on Fedora core 6. Everything seems
to be working fine since we started it up in February. However, I
have noticed that in /var/lib/ldap there are a lot of log.00000x
files incrementing from 1 through 58 so far and they are all the
same size of 5242880 bits. Can someone explain to me what the role
of these log files is and if there is anything I should do to keep
the directory clean over time? Should I just ignore them or is
there maintenance or something that is recommended for cleaning up
these log files over time? Is openldap dependent upon all of them
for any reason?

this are the transaction logs of bdb, doen't touch them, use
db_archive to remove old log files.
