I have a DB_CONFIG, here are the contents:
**************************************************************************
# $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/DB_CONFIG,v 1.3.2.4 2007/12/18 11:53:27

#
# See the Oracle Berkeley DB documentation

nfig.html>

**************************************************************************
I don't see a progress bar when I try the import, it just seems to hang.
The server I am adding to does not have a database. I do a rm __db.* *.bdb
log.* in the openldap-data directory after the failed imports so that I wipe
out the database each time and start over.
I haven't tried the -q flag and got this:
slapadd -q -v -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l
/root/08052009_0647_ldap_backup.ldif
bdb_db_open: database "dc=sbceoportal,dc=org": unclean shutdown detected;
attempting recovery.
bdb(dc=sbceoportal,dc=org): recovery requires transaction support
bdb_db_open: database "dc=sbceoportal,dc=org" cannot be recovered, err 22.
Restore from backup!
backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (22)
slap_startup failed
Thanks!
