Hello,

A few weeks ago dirsrv kept stopping, I’d have to go and manually restart the process. I wasn’t able to correctly diagnose the problem and instead opted to update to the latest release of 389-ds. After applying the update dirsrv became stable. However, any users with expired passwords or any new user accounts aren’t able to authenticate. My setup:

Two servers in a mullti-master replication environment both running Cent-OS 5.10 and:

389-admin-console-1.1.8-1.el5

389-ds-base-libs-1.2.11.32-1.el5

389-ds-1.2.1-1.el5

389-dsgw-1.1.11-1.el5

389-console-1.1.7-3.el5

389-adminutil-1.1.20-1.el5

389-admin-1.1.29-1.el5

389-ds-console-1.2.6-1.el5

389-admin-console-doc-1.1.8-1.el5

389-ds-console-doc-1.2.6-1.el5

389-ds-base-1.2.11.32-1.el5

In addition to the above problem I’m also seeing the following entries in /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/errors

It appears that I may have some database corruption though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
