My log is full of these since I ran the 10.3.5 update yesterday.

Try the 10.3.9 update? :-P

I had a braino. I'm actually running 10.5.3, not 10.3.5 ! Thanks for raising the point, Stuart.


Have you tried stopping slapd and reindexing?

And with that prompt I find this:

<http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1636>

Unfortunately, it didn't help. I'm still getting the error reports every minute. Googleing leads me to the following post

<http://lists.apple.com/archives/Macos-x-server/2006/Nov/ msg00437.html>

which looks interesting, but I'm reluctant to do it because I don't understand it. Can someone assure me that this is related to my problem and will fix it ? Or does it mean I can just ignore it ?



I followed the instructions on my 10.5.4 server because I was getting an inordinate amount of cpu usage from the DirectoryService process.


My bdb_substring_candidates was authAuthority.

I added the item to the:
/etc/openldap/slapd_macosxserver.conf

as instructed and after stopping, reindexing and starting, I still get the errors.

looking in:
/var/db/openldap/openldap-data

I don't find an authAuthority.bdb file.

The bdb files are being updated as their mod times are current.

From what I can guess, either slapindex didn't encounter any authAuthority fields to index or the conf file is not being read correctly.

I'm guessing the latter because....
I comment out the macAddress index, reindex and yet the macAddress.bdb file still gets updated.



I know this is probably not critical to the operation to the server, but I tend to want to deal with things that show up in my error logs....


Whatever the importance level, something seems to not be right somewhere.

Anyone have any ideas?
