Hi Torsten, I recently concluded another series of tests with the slapd and it seems my problems have vanished. I will now include the dependencies (had to learn that one first). I am now testing on a development station on which normally after a couple of hours the machine would lock up. This did not happen so far. The only difference is that I used the dpkg-reconfigue to install a brand new ldap database + slapd.conf and imported my own ldap data using the ldif format. So making this ascii step in between the upgrading might make a difference. It could be an idea that anyone who has problems with slapd, follows this process because at least this eliminates the problem of old binary databases. I will keep slapd running on the dev machine and if the problem does not come back, I will try a production machine (an hold my breath). So far so good. When the problem comes back, I will make a new bug report because I now have the feeling that my problem had nothing to do with this thread. Also the problem with the IPv6 kernel module has vanished. So I hereby withdraw all my comments. gr. Robert Ps I might have some suggestions for the text used in the dpkg-reconfigure script, are you interested?
