That is exactly what you want to see. Slapd noticed that DB_CONFIG changed, so it is running database recovery to apply the new changes.
I was convinced than DB_CONFIG settings could not get changed after the initial database creation.
Wrong.
Did that change at some point ? Also, is it true for all settings, or only a subset of available ones ?
All settings can be changed; that has always been the case. In the past you needed to manually run db_recover to make the changes take effect. In 2.4 back-bdb/hdb detects the change and does the recovery automatically.
