issue with multiple 'database' stanzas in 2.0.23

[Ian Macdonald <ian@google.com>]

Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem when trying to add a second 'database'
section to an existing slapd.conf with OpenLDAP 2.0.23. slapd seems to
only see whichever database section comes first in the config file. The
subsequent database definitions are ignored.

Here's the relevant section of slapd.conf:

#######################################################################
# ldbm database definitions
#######################################################################

database        ldbm
suffix          "dc=google,dc=com"
rootdn          "cn=foo,dc=google,dc=com"
rootpw          {crypt}foobarbaz
directory       /var/lib/ldap

# Indices to maintain
index   objectClass,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid   eq
index   cn,mail,surname,givenname                       eq,subinitial
index   mailHost,mailRoutingAddress                     eq

#loglevel       256
loglevel        1280	# temporarily log back-end activity, too

lastmod on

access to attr=userPassword
        by self write
        by * auth

access to *
        by * read

#######################################################################
# shell definitions
#######################################################################
database        shell

suffix          "dc=google,dc=com"
search          /usr/local/sbin/ldap_search
#modify         /usr/local/sbin/ldap_modify
#add            /usr/local/sbin/ldap_add
#delete         /usr/local/sbin/ldap_delete
---

If I move the shell section to the top of the file, the ldbm section is
ignored and the shell back-end scripts are called as expected.

Am I making a basic mistake here or is there a known issue with 2.0.23
in this regard?

Thanks in advance.

Ian
