Re: i don't find a new user added in getent passwd list

[stefano <stefano.malini@gmail.com>]

so, there is a little problem.

i was checking with ldapsearch and the answer was
"ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)"

i didn't understand the cause.
i checked about pid of openldap and there wasn't it.
in slapd.conf it has to be in /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid but this file 
wasn't there.
so i went in /var/lib/ldap/ to check DB_CONFIG and it's the follow:

set_cachesize 0 2097152 0
set_lk_max_objects 1500
set_lk_max_locks 1500
set_lk_max_lockers 1500

why?

this morning i deleted old databases with this command:

rm __db.* *.bdb log.*

but i didn't touch DB_CONFIG.

now am trying to restore it but, could you explain the causes of this?
