Haven't tried with CentOS 6 because I switched my newer setups to Ubuntu but Ubuntu 10.04 also uses dynamic configuration methods and if that is the case... /etc/openldap/slapd.conf is meaningless - at least in Ubuntu renaming or deleting /etc/openldap/slapd.d would be a self-defeating act... that's where the results of dynamic configuration will end up. start over, baby steps... script everything you do so it's repeatable start by adding your schema's then define the backend then define the base then define your ACL's then you can pull in the DSA Craig _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
