I should note that I'm using LDBM and no Berkeley. I'm not opposed to
making the switch, sometime down the road, but .dbb worked fine for some

assume this may be the reason I have no db_recover.
Well, "database ldbm" could still be on top of berkeley db. db_recover is
a command shipped with berkeley DB.
I would highly recommend upgrading to using BDB as the underlying database
structure, with "database bdb" in your slapd.conf, as it is a much superior
database format to ldbm. We ran with ldbm on our previous directory prior
to OpenLDAP, and had many undetected database corruption errors because of
it.
