On a similar note, I upgraded a client's box running openldap, and
after the upgrade (via anaconda) slapd wouldn't start.  Apparently db4
4.3 won't open db4 4.2 files.  :-/  (Luckily I had my FC3 notebook
handy so I could just copy /etc/openldap and /var/lib/ldap over to it
to run slapcat.)

If there isn't going to be an automatic backup script for things like
this (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=148972),
perhaps Extras should include an openldap-snapshot rpm that just
includes the cron job.  (I was thinking the other day that
postgresql-snapshot, mysql-snapshot, etc. would be good ideas too.)
