Thank you for your quick reply. Without this command I would get the 
following error:

bdb_db_open: database "dc=example,dc=com": 
db_open(/var/lib/ldap/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or directory (2).

I googled that error and found that command which would fix/prevent that 
error at

Thanks for the tip. I would prefer to stay wit what upstream provides 
but if that means that things won't work than I'll try the latest and 
greatest. Off to build 2.4.32.
