Hi

I upgrade my server Os (from feisty to hardy) to install the last ubuntu packaged version of openldap (slapd 2.4.9). I want to use also the db4.6 utils with this version to do a better tuning of DB_CONFIG. The problem is that this version is packaged with libdb4.2 dependency. With this version of Berkley DB, I've observed an important amount of CPU consumed when synchronisation between master and slaves is executed. This led sometimes in loss of synchronisation state.

So, I have 2 questions:

is it any know bug in libdb4.2 that can lead to this beahaviour ? is it better ton install openldap from package Source so that i can configure it with higher version of libdb ?

Hi Fida,

If you want to use db4.6 on Ubuntu, you will have to compile OpenLDAP from source.

This is probably a good idea, because you can use a more recent version of OpenLDAP, that has corrected a lot of bugs, particularly in synchronization. I recommend you use 2.4.16 which should come out in a few days.

However, problems with synchronization are very unlikely to be related to BerkeleyDB.

All the best, Jonathan
