Hi,

I have taken the OpenLDAP 2.4.39 and able to work properly but when I do slapcat then it hangs and always complains on alock.

But if I delete alock it works fine.

I have 4.6.21 version of bdb

I don't know much about alock file in bdb .

Can you please suggest is it ok to delete alock file for running slapd and slapcat ?

Thanks,

Pramod
