If I set OpenLDAP to use an shm key, and the kernel is not configured to allow SHM keys of the size requested, slapd goes into an infinite loop trying to connect to the DB, and can only be stopped with a kill -9:
Feb 17 15:06:53 tribes slapd[7683]: hdb_db_open: database "": shared memory env open failed, assuming stale env. Feb 17 15:06:53 tribes slapd[7683]: bdb(): shmget: key: 7: unable to create shared system memory region: Invalid argument Feb 17 15:06:53 tribes slapd[7683]: bdb(): PANIC: Invalid argument Feb 17 15:06:53 tribes slapd[7683]: bdb(): unable to join the environment
is what it logs endlessly.
