Re: OpenLDAP coredumps on startup (Solaris 10)

Hello

my slapd server is still crashing. I recompiled the slapd server already as static binary but that doesn't change anything. I still have no clue what this random crash in the startup phase is causing.

I'm setting up an openldap directory server (2.4.13) including a 2nd one

configuring everything (database, sync, schema, etc) and imported the
basic LDAP Layout (ou=Users,ou=Groups, etc), I wanted to use this
directory as Userdirectory for Userauthentication on ldap.

I was switching user/group lookups using the 'ldapclient' command and
modified to /etc/nsswitch.conf to refer for "files ldap" for passwd and
group.

Everything seems to work. 'genent passwd' and 'getent group' is listing
my ldap user and groups. But when i try to restart the slapd server it
crashes sometimes with a coredump.

Whenever you get a coredump, the most useful thing to do is to actually examine the coredump. Use a debugger to get a stack trace from the core file.

Okay i don't really know how to process core files. When I'm doing a pstack on the core file I'm getting this output.

I would be happy for any help. Otherwise it seems that I've to write a custom start script, that is starting the LDAP server several times in a row, just to make sure that the server is starting up, instead of fixing the error for real.
