When I start slapd in a shell I don't get control of the shell back:

/sbin/service ldap start
Checking configuration files for : config file testing succeeded
Starting slapd: [ OK ]

The process is running:

root 15610 15598 0 11:23 pts/4 00:00:00 initlog -q -c /usr/sbin/slapd -u ldap -h ldap:/// -d 5
ldap 15611 15610 0 11:23 pts/4 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/slapd -u ldap -h ldap:/// -d 5

As expected, closing the shell kills the process.

The log out looks like this:

Sep 18 11:02:52 Hostname slapd[15337]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.2.13 (Apr 24 2006 23:00:46) $ root@hs20-bc1-3.build.redhat.com:/usr/src/build/738770-i386/BUILD/openldap-2.2.13/openldap-2.2.13/build-servers/servers/slapd

Looks like slpd is not fully started?

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks.

Is this the same thing posted in another thread?

Yes some of the info is the same as I realized my original post was regarding a request for information on the configuration of Openldap and not on an issue running Openldap. I apologize for posting some of the information twice, I figured it was better in a new thread then buried somewhere else.

From my other post - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...n-rhel-670839/


I see that sldapd is bound to port 389, but I don't see the logs indicating that sldapd has started, only that it is still "starting".
