(Solaris 8, 9, and 10 for SPARC and x86 Platforms, Linux, Windows,
HP-UX, and AIX):
PatchZIP (Compressed Archive) and Native package versions:
* Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2
* Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 Patch2
* Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 Patch3
* Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 Patch4
* Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 Patch6

$ cd <installation directory>/bin/slapd/server
$ ./ns-slapd -V -D <instance-directory>
Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server/5.2
On 64-bit Solaris:
$ cd <installation directory>/bin/slapd/server/64
$ ./ns-slapd -V -D <instance-directory>
Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server/5.2
On 64-bit HP-UX:
$ cd <installation directory>/bin/slapd/server/pa20_64
$ ./ns-slapd -V -D <instance-directory>
Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server/5.2
On Windows systems:
>cd <installation directory>/bin/slapd/server
>slapd.exe -V -D <instance-directory>
3. Symptoms
