In software, anything is possible. Some things are not advisable, though. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In this case, BDB 4.0 has a number of resource leaks and other bugs that will |
| 24 |
cause slapd to lockup after running for some period of time. I ran into these |
| 25 |
bugs while developing back-bdb originally, and I never checked to see if they |
| 26 |
also affect back-ldbm. It's possible, but I don't know. If you manually edit |
| 27 |
the configure script to bypass the version check, you can use BDB 4.0 with |
| 28 |
the latest OpenLDAP release if you really want to. But that would really be |
| 29 |
asking for trouble. |
