my last encounter with ldbm, a few years back, drove me to bdb really fast, because my - though small - installation(s) seem to behave the opposite way. In any case, knowing how to repair a broken ldbm database would be a good thing. With bdb, there is dbX.Y_recover, which worked nicely for me when I needed it. Having said that, bdb appears to be the prerequisite for the ability to modify existing object's DNs. > openldap is still a piece of shit, but the ldbm backend is probably the > sanest one. This pattern comes up often, but almost noone suggests an alternative LDAP server package. -- Kind regards, --Toni++
