We are running Openldap 1.2.7.2 for authentication of users accessing our dialin users and for the mail service. we have a primary and secondary ldapserver with replication running between them. yesterday there was a problem with the slurpd.therefore to isolate the problem, we ran the slurpd and slapd daemon in debugging mode with the following syntax: /usr/sbin/slapd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 68 ( on primary and secondary servers) /usr/sbin/slurpd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 68 (on primary server) the ldapsearch on both the servers yielded the result as desired.on exiting the debugging mode for the slurpd by pressing: cntl+c, the slurpd replication process was stopped.similarly the slapd daemon was stopped. we then tried to run the ldap daemon by running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap start the slapd and the slurp daemons started and were confirmed by : ps -ef | grep slapd ps -ef | grep slurpd however now the ldapsearch gave no result nor any errors. i suspected ldap database corruption. on checking the ldap database directory, there were only 3 files and no ldi2entry.dbb,objectclass.dbb etc. also the secondary server also lacked the files as mentioned. we had to manually create the database. however we are unable to find any plausible explanation for the above incident. since we are running an isp with a user database of over 30,000 users, we cannot afford to have this failure in future. i d require any help on the above incident ASAP. also note that the access to the servers is highly restricted and no one could havedeleted the database. thanks in advance to all those who can help and regards tajeshwar singh Free Web Mail for Notes Professionals http://www.dominomail.com

First, you should consider updating to 1.2.11, the latest stable release. Next, you should check your configuration. If database files are not being created, it's likely you have a permissions or similar problem. If you have further software use questions, please take them to the software mailing list. Kurt
