I'm using 1.0.4-1 release. My configuration fairly basic using "one way" windows sync (ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2006-December/msg00070.html).

It's been working well until this morning for going on a month (fortunately it's not live yet, but was planning to put it live this weekend - not anymore!). I'm not sure what occurred exactly, a few password changes and minor updates to a couple of attributes but since a few hours ago any attempt to write to anything in the userRoot database fails and slapd crashes. I've looked in the error and access logs but it doesn't give much away - on restart i see:

[18/Jan/2007:14:48:42 +0000] - Fedora-Directory/1.0.4 B2006.312.435 starting up [18/Jan/2007:14:48:42 +0000] - Detected Disorderly Shutdown last time Directory Server was running, recovering database. [18/Jan/2007:14:48:43 +0000] - slapd started. Listening on All Interfaces port 389 for LDAP requests [18/Jan/2007:14:48:43 +0000] - Listening on All Interfaces port 636 for LDAPS requests

What can do to get more info?
start-slapd -d 1
or
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/FAQ#Troubleshooting and use the TRACE debug level.
thanks, the server takes a long time to fully start and is really quite slow with this switch. I suppose thats normal.
Yes.
Any hints as to what else to look for, there is an enormous amount of output. The log ends (when it crashes when i attempt any write operation) with a segmentation fault.
So, not just a write of userPassword, but of any attribute?
Yep thats correct

Yesterday i did password change using ldappasswd and i found this issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179723) just now - my directory does have a password policy. Is this fixed in 1.0.4?
Yes, it is supposed to be - but if you reproduced it with 1.0.4, then I guess not :-(

So, if I understand correctly - you used ldappasswd to change a user's password, and you have password policy enabled (global or local?), and you can crash the server.
I have all three requirements it seems to reproduce this bug, 1. ssl on, 2. password policy global and local/subtree and i've used ldappassword (yesterday) - uh oh!

My issue is slightly different in that the server crashes when any update is attempted, not just a modify password.

Is there any way to restore an old database and turn off all password policy for the time being without writing to the directory / user database? Probably not i suppose, at least not easily. So is my best bet to dump the directory to ldif and do a reinstall and reconfigure. What do you think?
If the database is corrupted, just a dump to LDIF and a reimport might do the trick. If not, then I suggest disabling the local password policy to see if that fixes the problem.
i did a dump and ended up having to do a ldif2db (as i couldn't write to the live database without a crash) and i seem to be back up and running except i don't have the default ACI's anymore. How can i recreate them?

Are you sure they're missing? Did you use ldapsearch to look for them? Remember that the aci attribute is operational and must be specified on the ldapsearch command line.

Is there wiki/manual page or a script with the default ones, thats all i need for the time being.

At any rate, please file a bug http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and list OS + version + bitsize, and detailed steps about how to reproduce the bug. My inclination is that this is a bug which will require a patch to address.
Will do, and help so far the support Richard.

I have tried a restore from a week old backup (using bak2db) but that didn't fix the problem so anyone got any idea whats going on and how i might start fixing this - Help!?

Thanks
Nick
