I am using openldap with ldbm backend in an not exactly small installation for 9 or 10 years now. I have never ever experienced a broken database. never. trying bdb lead to disasters all over the place. but admittedly that was many many many moons ago. openldap is still a piece of shit, but the ldbm backend is probably the sanest one. -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
