Thank you, Ville, for the test data. I could reproduce the db_verify problem.

I have good news and bad news. :) Good news, first... Your db is not corrupted. The error report from verify-db.pl is bogus.

Bad news, next. Please take a look at this bug. We are going to provide a fixed utility some time soon.

Summary: verify-db.pl (db_verify) does not work on a little endian machine

Sorry about this inconvenience, and thank you for reporting the problem!

I asked my manager but he doesn't think it's a good idea for security reasons. The problem is that the data is our NIS mail.aliases and passwd, and we don't want to distribute them to the internet. He suggested I'll modify the data, so I can send a sample to you. I'll do that next week.
That would be great. Thanks! I'm interested in what type of characters your data contain. E.g., character set is UTF-8? Some of your DNs could contain any special characters such as '\'? etc...

The character set should be plain ASCII. I created an imaginary mail.aliases file. You can download it from here:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/systems-srv/mp/file-exchange/

Type in "fedorads" to the Pass Phrase input box and click Go. You should see three files: mail.aliases, mail.aliases.ldif and 99user.ldif.

I can reproduce my problem with the above files, for example, I've tested like this:

1. Delete existing ebiRoot database (you could use userRoot).
2. Delete db/ebiRoot directory.
3. Create ebiRoot database.
4. Shutdown slapd.
5. Run db2index and verify-db.pl. No errors.
6. Start slapd.
7. Import mail aliases. I've tried with the Console and my own CLI, which can import LDIF and add entries one-by-one. The method doesn't seem to matter.
8. Shutdown slapd.
9. Run db2index and verify-db.pl, verify gives errors:

So, in your ldif data, the mail attribute also has this type of value: "|/homes/majordom/wrapper stripmime.pl|/homes/majordom/wrapper resend -l foobar-dev foobar-dev-outgoing"?

No, the People entries have a simpler mail value, like "foo@xxxxxxxxx".

And your mail index has the default indexing type: presence, equality, and substring?

Yes.

What type of indexing does the rfc822MailMember attribute have?

I've tried without any indexing, with presence and equality and with presence, equality and substring. The above errors are from verify-db.pl when I have presence and equality indeces. If I have presence, equality and substring, I get these errors for rfc822MailMember:

Verify db/ebiRoot/rfc822mailmember.db4 ...

Have we already heard what platform you are running the FDS on?

CentOS release 4.4, Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp. Pentium III 2x1266MHz CPUs, 2GB memory, SCSI disks. I'm using FDS 1.0.4.

I'm away this week Wed-Fri, so I'll get back to you next week.

Thanks for the help!

Ville
