Re: can't search on reload of slapd

[Earl Robinson <earl@earlrobinson.com>]

well, i've been running in debug mode to see the logging, and I just hit ^C to
stop the process.
what i end up doing is :
"rm -f /usr/tmp/* "

which cleans up the old .dbb files. then I can repopulate the database, and
search. The biggest thing is that the data is there, just hidden somehow.
