Hi World,

We are using OpenLDAP 2.3.5 on Solaris 9. For security reason, System administrator start to use corporate LDAP, (disable local authorization) and disable inetd services (comment out inetd.conf).

After that, when we try to start the OpenLDAP, this is not same as the corporate LDAP, we recived Dead lock error message as, Assertion failed: errno != EDEADLK, file alock.c, line 77

And the OpenLDAP was aborted.

Does anybody know this error?

This is probably the result of an unclean shutdown. Remove the alock file in the database directory and restart slapd. By the way, 2.3.5 is rather old, the actual version is 2.4.33.
