Package: slapd
Version: 2.2.26-5
Severity: wishlist
Experience told me that it is very important for BDB backend stability to have
a DB_CONFIG file in the database path.
I modified a bit /etc/init.d/slapd so that it checks the presence of this file.
Please find attached the patch.
Here's an example of output if the file is not present:
# /etc/init.d/slapd restart
Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
Starting OpenLDAP: Warning: DB_CONFIG not present in /var/lib/ldap, please read
/usr/share/doc/slapd/README.DB_CONFIG.gz, running BDB recovery, slapd.
