Re: (ITS#3960) slaptest changes ownership of ldap-data files

[hyc@symas.com]

I am unable to reproduce this behavior. I see that if the BDB 
environment has not yet been created, then the environment files will be 
owned by whichever user causes them to be created. But once the files 
exist, their ownership does not get changed.

So you should make sure that root is not the first user to touch the 
database if the environment has not yet been created. This ITS will be 
closed.
