Thanks for the reply, Howard. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. From what I have read there are two options.
1) Copy /usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.example to /var/lib/domain then rebuild the database. 2) Enable checkpointing in slapd.conf Does enabling checkpointing in slapd.conf require rebuilding the database or can I simply restart slapd.conf? We are not using online configuration.
