CentOS 5.1 ldap server stop problem

Status

• Patch available
• open

Description

The /etc/init.d/ldap try to stop the slapd process with the TERM signal first. If the process is active after three seconds, then the script stops slapd with the KILL signal. The next ldap start requires recovery:

    # service ldap start
    Checking configuration files for slapd:  bdb_db_open: unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery.
    bdb_db_open: Recovery skipped in read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are encountered.
    --> hit Cntrl-C
    config file testing succeeded
                             [OK  ]
    Starting slapd:          [OK  ]

Solution

Using option -d with the killproc function. The delay time ca be configured with /etc/sysconfig/ldap. This solution allows a flexible configuration for the administrator.

Patch

This Patch and create the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/ldap with:

    STOP_DELAY=60
