Hi Matthijs, Thanks for the reply. You are correct. If I shutdown slapd first, no error is generated. I can start doing this. However, I didn't think this was necessary. From the slapcat man page: "For some backend types, your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database. It is always safe to run slapcat with the slapd-bdb(5), slapd-hdb(5), and slapd-null(5) backends." Is this no longer accurate? -Bryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
