This bug was caused by the fact that slapd runs as user openldap and /var/run is not writable by anyone but root. Now in gutsy the pidfile and argsfile are under /var/run/slapd, which is owned by openldap:openldap.
afaik this bug is no more for gusty. also one should make sure that the init script takes care to do some chowns in case slapd is run as root for debugging purpose, ie if entries are added while debugging and slapd runs as root, database files will be owned by root, and the next start with the initscript will eventually fail. -- slapd do not start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
