Fedora directory users - Nov 2008 - I can not write dse.ldif file

hello,

When I do some updates in the content of the dse.ldif file for an 
instance (/etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance/), my file is rewrited and restored 
back to the previous version automatically by FDS without my permission !
How can I ensure durability of my updates for this config file ?

regards

You have to shutdown the server first before writing dse.ldif.  The 
server uses dse.ldif as it''s dynamic configuration backing store.  The 
server periodically writes out its config to this file.  If you really 
want to edit dse.ldif (not recommended) you must first shutdown the server.

The better way to do it is to use ldapmodify to dynamically edit the 
configuration in the running server.
