dbenv_open() never returns for BDB database

[Eliot Stock <themoney@gmail.com>]

Hello.

I noticed the other day that openldap had not started up on my Fedora
Core 4 box. When I run:

slaptest -d -1

my config files are fine but slaptest stalls on checking my database.
The last bit of logging is:

slaptest startup: initiated.
backend_startup: starting "dc=eliot,dc=stock,dc=name"
bdb_db_open: dc=eliot,dc=stock,dc=name
bdb_db_open: dbenv_open(/var/lib/ldap)

then nothing (slaptest never returns). Similarly, 'service ldap start'
gets as far as 'Checking configuration files for slapd' and never
returns.

My /var/lib/ldap looks like this:


[root@flyjack ldap]# ls -lah
total 4.8M

And the relevant bits of my slapd.conf are:


[root@flyjack init.d]# more /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

include         /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema

index uid,memberUid                     eq,pres,sub
index nisMapName,nisMapEntry            eq,pres,sub


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
