I had the same problem a few weeks ago. The auto update of openldap
through rhn overwrote the database files with empty files, then did the
same several hours after we restored the server. After that experience,
we setup a recovery plan using slapcat to backup the database on a
regular basis. I don't know what you are currently doing to backup your
database, but I would suggest backing it up before running any updates
from Redhat.
HTH.

I recently upgraded the openldap-server package on my ldap server.
After the upgrade (using rpm -Uvh), I noticed that some of the user
accounts were not in the database anymore. I think they were the
accounts that were created since the last time slapd was restarted (on a
reboot).
When a new user is added to ldap, does slapd not write the data to disk
until its shutdown? During a previous upgrade of openldap-server, my
whole ldap database was erased and I wasn't sure why...
Anyone else notice anything with upgrading openldap-server?
