Hi,

Does anyone know the specifics of the instability of BDB 4.3 (see http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/44.html)? I run OpenLDAP on a RedHat platform that ships with BDB 4.3

But, does the OpenLDAP package on that "platform" (would you not prefer to provide a version instead?) actually link to the system BDB 4.3 ?

$ rpm -q openldap-servers openldap-servers-2.2.13-4

$ rpm -qR openldap-servers|grep db-4 libslapd_db-4.2.so

$ rpm -q --whatprovides libslapd_db-4.2.so openldap-servers-2.2.13-4

So, it's linked to an internal copy of 4.2. BDB version may not be your biggest problem.
