That's been my experience as well. For example, every system that I
have running openldap eventually corrupts the database (usually in 2-3
months of continuous use). This is on servers that run for months
(sometimes years) at a time without a reboot.
Luckily slapd_db_recover and slapindex has fixed the problem every
time so far, which is why I'd *really* like it if "service ldap
restart" would run both.
