If you're running a BDB-based database (not ldbm) and if you installed
it yourself and if it's 4.x.x at least (limit of my knowledge), then
you'll have a number of BDB utilities. After a BDB install, you'll find
them in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.x/bin. One is db_recover. Stop the slapd
service and run 'db_recover -c', reindex, look at the BDB permissions
carefully and restart the slapd service.

Assuming you compiled and installed it yourself, you'll have full html
docs in install_dir/docs. Read all of them carefully!

Best,

Tony
