i now upgraded to 7.0 verison and i am still waiting for 7.2 disk to
be delivered. i have the same problem on 7.0 . even autorecover
fails, so i connot automaticly start and stop the server.
i get a corrupted directory after shutdown

this is still test system and i wonder if i should make it production
system with this situation . another symptom is in to config . after
Directory Server update i get this warning


SERVER SETUP PARAMETERS (THE DIRECTORY SERVER)
How many minutes is the difference between local time and UTC
(plus=east, minus=west)?[0 ]
Accept these values?[Yes ]
Warning: (Err1443999)
Press the ENTER key to continue...


in advanced mode this operation does not save new values for
directories. something is wrong here
