Eh, I'm not sure it should be in the man page. The point is, if you ever want guaranteed atomic writes, you have to use slapo-accesslog to serialize them. That's an issue that affects other LDAP servers as well. AS Pierangelo said: There is no guarantee of DSA-wide or even database-wide atomicity in write operations, including internal ones. This was never even intended to be in place. This is a known design limitation not only of slapo-unique, but also of slapd (and, I'd say, of LDAP itself). --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Engineer Zimbra, Inc -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.
