Currently discovered via a "feature", but should use a control.
Start of a control made, but needs to be better integrated (with
auto use in ldapmodify(1)).
Old code applied sync flags to store(), however supported DBMs
require such flags to be specified during open(). The new
code now applies flags in ldbm_cache_open (which calls ldbm_open).
ldbm_cache_close() now calls ldbm_sync(). This will force
a updating of on-disk contents after each LDAP operation.
The old code either failed to sync the on-disk contents until
close or synced on every store. Per LDBM operation syncing
*should* be safe enough... real data safety requires transactions.
Removed nosync option from BDB2 as it is not compatible with
txn support.
Also added code to disable DBM level locking as slapd is only
process acessing the databases (dbnolocking).
introduction of pid/agrs parameters to the test-suite slapd.conf files;
creation of sub-directory test/var for storage of pid/args files during test;
update of the slapd and slapd.conf man pages.
(The change reduces dependency on ldapconfig.h, since SLAPD_PIDEXT
and SLAPD_ARGSEXT are deleted from the code.)
add/merge as we now free strings agressively. Improved debug
message to include name of missing required attribute and added
check for 'operational attributes'. This check should be used
everywhere we need to test for operational attributes (add/modify).
Also, enabled schema checking for tests (and fixed resulting
problems by adjusting oc.conf).
"Check that the entry has no writers before removing it from the
cache" sounds more sensible to me than "check that it *has* writers"
before removing it.
I've also changed the default cachesize for tests to 4. This
should help discover such problems.
