Hi,

I'm running an openldap 2.2.23 replica on a debian 3.1 (sarge) system. Once in a while the index gets damaged and I have to use slapreindex to get authentication working again.

The master server is running on fedora core (I don't know the version).

Is there anything I can do about this problem?

Well, I've never seen that behavior, and your report is kind of vague on the details. But I'd certainly recommend using a current version of OpenLDAP (2.3.28 is the current release). Or at least use 2.2.30, which was the final 2.2 release.

What version of BDB is your replica using? 4.2? 4.3?

Im using the ldbm backend as was suggested for debian (I can't recall from where I got this). I think it internally uses bdb 4.3

I would rather stay with the version packaged with my distribution if there is no known issue with it.

I have no control over the master-server, but as far as i know it also uses an openldap 2.2.x.

Howard reminded me to ask... What database backend are you using? LDBM? BDB?

Great, two mistakes in one. Don't use back-ldbm. Don't use BDB 4.3.

There are many known issues with it.

I have no control over the master-server, but as far as i know it also uses an openldap 2.2.x.
