Maybe someone on this list can argue ont this As far as I am aware, you are not a member of the OpenLDAP project team, so I am not sure why you write emails that tend to imply that you are. back-hdb was specifically marked as preferred over back-bdb for OpenLDAP 2.4 and it has been noted numerous times now that back-bdb will be removed at some time in the future on a later release series. So the original poster had a very valid question. The answer is to use back-hdb. --Quanah
