Hi All,

Can I delete the above file? It's big, about 1G. It's on a redhat ent 4 with ldap on it.

Is that safe to delete? It wasn't been used for already a month and it's in the backup storage.

Thanks for any comment you may add.

Yes, it's safe.

Or use

# >/var/tmp/slapd.log.swp

to truncate the file (not that the slap daemon should take exception to it being deleted!

You must need a lot of backup tapes if you backup tmp directories :wink:
