Description Dennis Sieben 2005-11-24 15:06:20 UTC 
If slapd is started with a username and group e.g. -u ldap -g ldap as default, and the directory of the back-config doesn't have write permission to the user or group. Then the server crashes with a segfault if you try to write something to cn=config with a ldap client.

It doesn't crash anymore with 2.3.13, but an error message would be nice :)
I'll take a look at the code.

Fixed.
