Hi all,

A Debian user reported about a missing checkpoint directive in
slapd.conf leading to data loss (see http://bugs.debian.org/272984). I
can't imagine how that would happen but I wonder why checkpointing is
only done during shutdown of slapd by default (I'd expect that to happen
really seldom).

I'd rather have the default changed if it increases data security
or slapd behaviour in case of a system crash. But I guess that's
upstreams call.

Comments?

Greetings
