Re: newbie openbsd ldap startup

[Jan-Michael Ong <jmong@adobe.com>]

Check your database permissions. Normally that's the reason why it can't
add. If its other than that check the logs... I posted a note before on
how to do the logging its pretty tricky but you'll have to restart
syslogd and edit /etc/syslog.conf and start slapd with -s local4. Please
check the man page on openldap.
