I go on vacation, so of course the server has problems :)
The linux server used for ldap authentication crashed yesterday. Now,
ldap will not start successfully. This means that samba will not start
and that means users can' t log onto the windows servers.. Also, I have
a slave ldap server running and we are currently authenticating against
that server for the linux logins. However, my windows terminal servers
want to use the main authentication server.
So, I had the tech coordinator try running the following.
sladp_db_recover -v -h /var/lib/ldap
but this does not correct the issue since then running
/etc/init.d/ldap start will not start ldap. It returns a message that
slapd failed to start.
The tech director is now trying:
slapd_db_recover -v -h /var/lib/ldap
chown -R ldap.ldap /var/lib/ldap
/etc/init.d/ldap start
but I am not overly optimistic. So, the question:
Can I just delete all of the db.001, db.0002, etc files and have slapd
rebuild them without losing the database? Then, I can run the above
commands again? Finally, there is a replog.lck file which I had him
delete (it was size zero), but this had not effect on ldap starting.
Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
