The reference to -u switch leads to the impression that filesystem
owwnership of slapd.conf and bdb database files is not appropriate.
In addition you may check the database with BerkeleyDB tools, i.e.
db_stat.

Thanks. I forgot to reply yesterday. I ended up tweaking the set_cachesize and set_lg_regionmax up just a bit in the DB_CONFIG and that let ldap run and everything is working now. Anytime I have ever had problems in the past was usually some power failure and as you say the file permissions got changed and I would change them back.

I found it odd that I needed to move those up any though, since I have not added any users or anything in quite some time.
