Does that node run any of the db_checkpoint utilities as a user
other than your openldap UID?

I shot myself in the foot with a backup script that ran as root,
and it would sometimes mess with the ownership of the transaction
logs.

Thanks Brian

Yes.i have back up script which runs as root. But it stores the back file in different location .

here is the script.

/usr/bin/logger -t ldap_backup "Starting hourly LDAP backup"
for each in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do /usr/bin/logger -t ldap_backup "Backing up database number $each"; /usr/sbin/slapcat -n $each -l /var/backup/$(date +%F_%H%M)_$each.ldif; done
/usr/bin/logger -t ldap_backup "Hourly LDAP backup finished."
