Your /tmp/ is mounted with noexec.

To work around this, create a directory where the script can be
written to and executed (can be owned by root:root and permissions
755), for example, /etc/openldap/initscript/, and then add the
following line to /etc/sysconfig/ldap (create the file if it doesn't
exist):

TMP=/etc/openldap/initscript

I suggest you create a /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG file with content such
as the one below:

set_cachesize 0 15000000 1
set_lg_regionmax 262144
set_lg_bsize 2097152
set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

See "man slapd-bdb" for more details.

HTH,
