Well after the host machine croaked, I finally got this running. Now, however, it's failing to start after I did an F43 system-upgrade, with a chicken-and-egg problem of needing to convert from bdb to mdb. However, dsctl coredumps when trying to convert the dblib and dsconf obviously won't connect, since the dirsrv won't start because of the database format. How can I get this conversion to work without a running server?
