Hello,

I'm running OpenLDAP 2.4.20 in a chroot()-ed environment on Solaris 10.

I somehow don't get logging working. I don't see any logging making it's way through syslog.

Nor do I get messages to an explicitly configured "logfile".

"loglevel" is set to "stat".

As soon as I start slapd using "-d ..." I see the messages in the "logfile" configured.

Using "truss" I see unsuccessful tries to open "/var/run/syslog_door" until I

mount -F lofs /var/run /var/openldap/var/run

(with "/var/openldap" being my chroot-directory). Unluckily still no syslog logging.

using "pfiles <PID>" I see slapd has got a file handle to "logfile" open.

But there's not "write" to this handle in truss output either.

Anybody with any idea about if and how chroot-slapd and syslog (or logfile) works?

Thanks in advance.

Peter
