As one who wrote a (Python) script which now and then crashed our master LDAP server (whichever server was the master at the time, and openLDAP) when inserting a new user, I'm nervous about that approach. The script inserted the data then immediately read some of it out to display as a result. After several needs to rebuild, I finally associated what I had just done with the slapd crash which corrupted the database (fortunately without inducing slurpd to send out the corruption to the other servers). I just put in a brief delay between writing the data and reading it back and all was well. Then, of course, we rationalized our account creation and stopped using the script...within about 6 weeks of the fix. --John -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
