Eric, Thank you for your response. Just to make sure your db is not broken, could you run these command lines and look for any corrupted DIT link when the DN corruption is observed? The outputs should be huge. So, I recommend you to redirect them to a file. I think we are interested in just around "ou=People,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu" and "ou=Group,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu". Since restarting the server fixes the problem, (I'm hoping) you don't see any corruption in this level. $ dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-YOURID/db/YOURBACKEND/id2entry.db4 | egrep "dn:|entryid:|parentid:" rdn: dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu entryid: 1 rdn: ou=People parentid: 1 entryid: 2 [...] $ dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-YOURID/db/YOURBACKEND/entryrdn.db4 -k "ou=People,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu" ou=People,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu ID: #; RDN: "ou=People,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu"; NRDN: "ou=people,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu" [...] $ dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-YOURID/db/YOURBACKEND/entryrdn.db4 -k "ou=Group,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu" ou=Group,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu ID: #; RDN: "ou=Group,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu"; NRDN: "ou=group,dc=acs,dc=albany,dc=edu" [...] Thanks! --noriko Eric Torgersen wrote: > Noriko, > > Please see my comments below. > > On Thu, 14 Oct 2010, Noriko Hosoi wrote: > >> Eric, >> >> Thanks for your input.
