Took the slapcat output from version 2.0.27 (ldbm) to version 2.3.32 (bdm). Used slapadd on 2.3.32 and am using Berkeley 4.2.52. The slapadd works fine. Then I issued chown ldap:ldap on the /var/lib/ldap-2.3.32 directory and files. Any type of ldapsearch results in a 32 no such object. The identical ldapsearch on the old ldap works fine.
