Re: configure ldap + cyrus sasl on debian 6

[Benin Technologies <benintechnologies@yahoo.fr>]

thanks, you pointed me in the right direction : actually I haven't 
installed the init scripts yet, and I started manually slapd without 
telling it to listen to a socket

with slapd -h "ldap:/// ldapi:///" I  now got a step further

Now I got:
root@ldap:/tmp# ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f ldap1.ldif
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
adding new entry "olcDatabase=hdb,cn=config"
ldap_add: Insufficient access (50)

I must have missed something else...

I'm doing all this under root, so it shouldn't be a question of file 
permission
