I just updated the opendldap24-server port on one of our servers and found nothing logged in /var/log/slapd.log after I had started the newly-built server. After some poking and prodding, I discovered that logging would only work if the port's DEBUG option was set (I did not have DEBUG set).
r396801 modifies the port's Makefile to pass --disable-debug to configure unless the DEBUG option is enabled. Previous behaviour was that configure would enable debug by default. I looked in the slapd source code and see that LDAP_SYSLOG requires LDAP_DEBUG. Building the port with the DEBUG option set restores the syslog logging, so I'm happy. I'm posting this here to save others some fault-finding time, and I've logged a bug (203256) in case this is not an intentional side-effect of r396801. -- John Marshall
