Fedora directory users - Jul 2007 - LDAP Server Crashed - Now Read-Only

My LDAP server crashed while I was adding a user.  After getting it
restarted, the database is now read-only.  Where/how do I change the
database back to read/write mode?  I''ve had to do this once before but
it''s been a very long time and I no longer remember where it is at.
 
Help.
 
 
Best Regards,
 
Greg Copeland

I finally found it.  Sorry.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Greg Copeland

Sorry to bother everyone but can anyone tell me where I can get more 
information
on the following error. Thanks

Sometimes are ns-slapd process dies.
Here is the entry in the /opt/fedora-ds/nodename/logs/errors file

[date time] get_ldapmessage_controls failed 12 (Unavailable critical 
extension) (op=Abandon)

Looks like some client is sending the LDAP Abandon operation with one or 
more controls attached, and one or more of them is marked Critical, and 
either one of the controls is not supported by Fedora DS, or is not 
supported for this particular operation.

What is your OS and Fedora DS version?  Could you help us track down the 
client?  Is there any information about this request in the access
log?

Sorry, can''t reproduce the crash.

We are running RHEL Linux Update 4 with an updated kernel of 2.6.16 with 
fedora 1.0.2.
I''ll need to look at the logs again to see if I can isolate who the
client
was during that time.
Would you think this would kill fedora though?

Thanks

Joe

You might want to use Fedora DS 1.0.4 instead, but I don''t know if this
will fix the problem.

Well, if it is a bug in the server, then yes.  It might be possible to 
simulate this client, by using Net::LDAP to send an abandon request with 
bogus critical controls.

Thanks - I will try to reproduce it via your suggestion then change versions 
to see if it occurs in the later version. Thanks
