Re: slapd won't start, no logs

I also recently faced the same problem, with the slapd terminating
without reporting. I debugged the start-up script and traced it to
the fact that the slapd.conf file was 'syntactically' not correct.
The ldap script in /etc/rc.d/init.d calls 'initlog' command which
logs it in /var/... something file.
