Hello,

I'm a bit confused this morning.  I woke up and realized that my directory was down, and when I tried to restart it I got the following message ...

# ./start-slapd
[05/Dec/2005:11:52:28 -0500] - ERROR: ** This beta software has expired **

Does this look familiar to anyone?  I'm continuing to look into it, but if it's something simple issue that I'm unaware of I'd appreciate any hints as to what the problem is?

Some background information ...

I've been running Fedora Directory Server for about 5 months without any issues.  It's been running great.  I recently added a root suffix to the directory that went smoothly.  I was able to use the new root without any problems after I added it.  I didn't seem to have any issues with that change.  This the only thing I've done in the past couple months.

I've just tired to save my config and back up the db with ./saveconfig, ./db2bak, ./db2ldif, and ./db2dsml and all attempts result in the same error message.

Also, the only thing printed to the error log is the same message.

# cat errors

I'm really at a loss as to what has expired.  Does the directory have some kind of license that has expired?  Can this be a message for an expired cert?  It doesn't really sound like it, but that's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks for any help and/or information.
