I noticed that a lot of entries that I have entered over a period of time (about two months) were gone! Is there a way to ensure that openldap write changes to the database to disk instantly? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi,
You don't say what backend you are using, but I'll assume bdb or hdb, since you don't want to use ldbm. See the "checkpoint" directive in the slapd-bdb(5) man page. This issue has been discussed many many times on the software list. Of course, I recommend you be using OpenLDAP 2.3 as well, since IIRC, the checkpoint directive didn't function entirely as intended in OpenLDAP 2.2.

Read your slapd.conf file and see what the "database" section says. If it says bdb or hdb, you are using Berkeley DB as your backend. If it says "ldbm", you'll need to see what other libraries slapd are linked against.
I'd highly advise upgrading, 2.2.24 is quite old (2.2.30 was the final release of OpenLDAP 2.2). OpenLDAP 2.3.27 is the current release, and 2.3.28 is around the corner. There are a lot of new beneficial features in OpenLDAP 2.3 as well (such as automatic DB recovery on slapd startup).

It's defined in slapd.conf
