This solution (switching from bdb to ldbm) was meant only for the SLES8 (on
which the SLOX product was based) openldap packages. With the SLES9 openldap
packages there I see no need to switch to ldbm. bdb gives you much better
performance and reliability. However after an unclean shutdown of slapd when
bdb is used you need to execute "db_recover -h <your_database_directory>".
On SLES9 it is possible to have db_recover running from the init script before
each start of the server daemon. Just add "yes" to OPENLDAP_RUN_DB_RECOVER
in /etc/sysconfig/openldap/.
Btw, OpenLDAP 2.3.X does detect itself if it was shutdown uncleanly and then
does the db_recover step itself. SLES9 packages (unsupported) of OpenLDAP
2.3.X are available from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/OpenLDAP/ or it
mirrors.
