You seem to be one of the few complaining about that. If instead of whining you filed a report, it would have been fixed ages ago.
That's rather uncalled for.However, if you can tell me roughly what *useful* data would be required for a bug report, I will file one. But I do not have huge amounts of time and like Greg, I have the pressure to "get the job done".
back-meta would cause the server to hang if there were an additional space in a search base (our old primary naming context was "o=lawrence berkeley laboratory,c=us" and a mail client user had "o=lawrence[space][space]berkeley lab,c=us" in his configuration.Back meta rewrites the way you ask it to do. If you configure it to rewrite "o=lawrence[space]berkeley lab,c=us" don't whine if it fails to rewrite "o=lawrence[space][space]berkeley lab,c=us". Tell it to rewrite "o=lawrence[space]\+berkeley lab,c=us" instead, and it'll do what you want. Machines tend to be as clever as users, seldom cleverer.Given some of the explanation I received after posting the first bug, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that using any of the rewriting infrastructure in the wild was a bad idea.That's correct. It should be one's last resort to deal with poorly designed systems.
In an ideal world my predecessors would not have left me such ****ed up systems. But there you go. Personally I need a translation layer to give me a phase-over period of some months to track down and remove all dependencies on the old schema - after that, I can "go clean" with a saner system :)
And that's where I ended up. So, we shortened the lifetime of our legacy naming context, wrote some additional synchronization tools, and just cranked up a new database with that content.That's exactly what one is expected to do.If you find a solution that works reliably, I'm all ears.RTFM? p.
I did and it oddly enough does not really deal with random segfaults. As far as I can see, *I* am doing it pretty much by the book - and I think we are all agreed that daemons should not segfault even on bad config.
Again - happy to try to get to the root cause, but I am not fully confident that my config is 100% sane anyway, because of the way it combines two overlays, which are clearly unhappy with each other.
