Eh, no such thing as OpenLDAP v2.16. I'd bet it is OpenLDAP 2.0.2x.
slapd -VV should show the version.
In slapd.conf: database = ldbm
In the slapd.conf...the first line shows : "# $OpenLDAP:
pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/slapd.conf,v 1.8.8.7 2001/09/27 20:00:31 kurt Exp

Okay, first, I'd suggest building your own OpenLDAP version, and storing it
separately from the system's ancient, deprecated, and unsupported version
of OpenLDAP. Perhaps /usr/local or /opt. And then, I suggest switching to
bdb as your database, not ldbm, which is not a very robust or reliable
database format. You'll need to compile numerous software pieces to do all
this of course. Or, optionally, you can purchase prebuilt distributions
from a company like Symas (http://www.symas.com) if you don't feel like
doing it yourself.
