Hello List,

what settings do i need to write my ldap changes (almost) immedialtely to disk? I do not need much of performance but would rather have a higher security.

That is the default behavior for slapd, no other settings are needed.

In my case i add a samba user to my ldap DB, then after 15 seconds i reset that box by pressing the reset button. After the box has rebootet the added user is not there anymore.

So i am not quite sure if its really writing to disk streight away.

Maybe this will guide you towards some answers:

man sync (and more under "info sync")

A small utility that "exercises the sync system call".
