Because of a sputid script I wrote that was unduly modifying my LDAP

My LDAP uses a database of type bdb, I have the option

   dbconfig set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

and thought it would take care of removing the log files. It seems not
so I must be missing something.

You're probably not checkpointing often enough for your workload. Read theslapd-bdb man page and/or Admin Guide and/or list archives on the subject.
