Hello, We recently started using the 389 Directory Server and are seeing an odd problem where searches start returning the wrong DN for a small number of entries in our directory. For example, our users are in ou=People,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu but for a few user entries the server starts returning the DN as "uid=(username),dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu," "uid=(username),ou=Group,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu," or sometimes even something like "uid=(username),=albany,,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu." The problem seems to be in memory, as restarting the directory server fixes the problem temporarily but then it will start happening again with a different set of entries. A db2ldif extract made while the server is in this state does not contain any of the bad DNs. I tried upgrading to 1.2.6.1-2. Since the upgrade, this has not happened for any user entries, but has happened for group entries. Has anyone else run into this problem? We are running 389 Directory Server on Oracle Linux 5.5 and using the x86_64 389 DS packages from EPEL. We have about 125,000 entries in our directory, most of which are in ou=People. We recently migrated from the Sun Directory Server 5.2. Thanks, Eric Eric Torgersen Assistant Director ITS Systems Management & Operations 518-437-3665
