Re: Possible to recover data in .gdbm files?

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

Find the latest copy of id2entry.XXX  (where XXX is gdbm or dbb or dbh
or whatever fits your choosen backend).  Then use slapcat (or ldbmcat
if using 1.2) to generate an LDIF.  Use this LDIF to regenerate your
directory.
