Sorry, i forgot to mention that this sort of stuff is checked o.k. and
set up by the freebsd ports system in an appropriate manner.

This was the right hint! On FreeBSD there is truss, but it does not tell
enough. But the fine ktrace told me, look:

   463 slapd    CALL  close(0x9)
   463 slapd    RET   close 0
   463 slapd    CALL  getpid
   463 slapd    RET   getpid 463/0x1cf
   463 slapd    CALL  sendto(0x5,0xbfbff290,0xc6,0,0,0)
   463 slapd    GIO   fd 5 wrote 198 bytes
       "<166>Jan 17 14:49:21 slapd[463]: ldbm_initialize(): version

   463 slapd    RET   sendto 198/0xc6
   463 slapd    CALL  write(0x2,0xbfbfeb00,0x23)
   463 slapd    GIO   fd 2 wrote 35 bytes
       "backend_startup: bi_open 1 failed!
       "
   463 slapd    RET   write 35/0x23

There seems to be some old library in place. I'll have a look at it and
come back if i can't solve it myself.

Thanks to all,
Marc
