Using openldap 2.4.39 on solaris 10 sparc box.

Bdb runs without any issue. Mdb fails on startup ( described below)

Snip from the slapd.conf

-------------------------------------

database mdb

suffix "o=vtec,c=au"

rootdn "cn=manager,o=vtec,c=au"

# Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should

# be avoid. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.

# Use of strong authentication encouraged.

rootpw secret

# The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND

# should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.

# Mode 700 recommended.

directory /data/irene/var/openldap-data-mdb
