Errors Creating Database w/ OpenLDAP 2.0.1

["Joseph A. Martin" <martinja@ice-works.com>]

Hello,

I recently installed OpenLDAP 2.0.1 from the Debian 'Woody' packages.
I am trying to bootstrap the simplest of databases. I will include my
LDIF input file and slapd config file with this message.

I cannot insert the one entry into the database using either slapadd
or ldapadd. slapadd consistently tells me: 

slapadd init: initiated tool.
==>backsql_initialize()
<==backsql_initialize()
slapadd startup: initiated.
backend_startup: starting database
=> ldbm_cache_open( "/var/lib/ldap/id2entry.dbb", 7, 600 )
<= ldbm_cache_open NULL "/var/lib/ldap/id2entry.dbb" errno=0 reason="Success")
Could not open/create id2entry.dbb
slapadd: could not open database.

For the record, there are no files in /var/lib/ldap.

The following entry appears in the system log files after attempting
to run slapadd.

Sep 13 16:12:58 thor slapadd: ldbm_db_errcall(): ==> DB_DUPSORT requires DB_DUP
Sep 13 16:13:05 thor last message repeated 2 times

When I run ldapadd I get various error messages. The most popular one
seems to be "could not contact server". My /etc/hosts.allow has
ALL: ALL and my /etc/hosts.deny has nothing in it. A `ps afx` does
show that slapd is running. When I check the logs I see the following
error:

Sep 13 16:09:59 thor slapd[4961]: ldbm_db_errcall(): ==> environment not created using DB_THREAD
Sep 13 16:09:59 thor last message repeated 5 times

Does anyone have any insights as to why I am having these problems?

later,
joseph
