Don't trust RedHat do do anything. ;)

dbcachesize is a ldbm specific command, and is similar to having things set 
up correctly for the DB_CONFIG file in bdb.  As noted previously, ldbm is 
generally considered to be deprecated, so you probably want to investigate 
using a more modern database backend (and more modern version of openldap 
than Redhat ships with).
