Re: LDAPADD command hangs
Hi Quanah,
I tried doing slapd -VV but had this error:-
"[root@openldap root]# slapd -VV
slapd: invalid option -- V
usage: slapd options
-d level Debug Level
-f filename Configuration File
-g group Group (id or name) to ran as
-h URLs List of URLs to serve
-l sysloguser Syslog User (default: LOCAL4)
-n serverName service name
-r directory
-s level Syslog Level
-u user User (id or name) to ran as
"
doesn't seem to work.
We originally went for bdb but encountered problems hence we switched to
using ldbm. I can't recall what it was, don't have the log anymore.
Presuming the openldap version is correct. What should I do next ?
Also, I noticed in my slave machine. The CRL data is not the same as what is
in the master. I thought it should be replicating the master. But clearly
its not doing so. How can one troubleshoot this to find out what is going on
?

Eh, no such thing as OpenLDAP v2.16. I'd bet it is OpenLDAP 2.0.2x.
slapd -VV should show the version.

Okay, first, I'd suggest building your own OpenLDAP version, and storing it
separately from the system's ancient, deprecated, and unsupported version
of OpenLDAP. Perhaps /usr/local or /opt. And then, I suggest switching to
bdb as your database, not ldbm, which is not a very robust or reliable
database format. You'll need to compile numerous software pieces to do all
this of course. Or, optionally, you can purchase prebuilt distributions
from a company like Symas (http://www.symas.com) if you don't feel like
doing it yourself.
