Well, tried moving to 2.3.35 ... while I did manage to compile and get 
everything running, OX chose to not authenticate against it ... any 
login I attempted on the portal failed ... changed back to the old 
version (though sticking with BDB), everything is working again ... no 
tellin' as to any performance improvements by using BDB, would have to 
see once all the users reconnect tomorrow ...

What could be causing the authentication failure with 2.3.35? I copied 
the schema files of the new version to /etc/openldap/schema, rebuilt the 
database from the ldif (slapcat) ...

Any ideas?

Tnx, -garry
