Because of a sputid script I wrote that was unduly modifying my LDAP

My LDAP uses a database of type bdb, I have the option

   dbconfig set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

and thought it would take care of removing the log files. It seems not
so I must be missing something.


You're probably not checkpointing often enough for your workload. Read
the slapd-bdb man page and/or Admin Guide and/or list archives on the
subject.
It would be good to know the openldap release, as well. I recall with the OpenLDAP 2.1 series for a while checkpoint didn't work, and you had to run the bdb checkpoint binary from cron manually to make sure it was happening.
