Ok, i can reproduce it on my Dapper. It is still the same on Edgy. Your changes seem quite logical for me. Note that changing the user that run slapd is not trivial (have to modify the owner of /var/lib/ldap and /etc/ldap/slapd.conf).
** Changed in: openldap2.2 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- slapd cannot be stopped with initscript https://launchpad.net/bugs/58095 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
