OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic: I am having trouble killing slapd under FreeBSD

I am having trouble killing slapd under FreeBSD

This is a known problem with certain versions of the FreeBSD pthread implementation (those in FreeBSD 4.0 and 4.1, possibly others) It has been reported to freebsd-bugs as PR#19087

Until this changes, the workaround is to patch OpenLDAP to use sigaction (with sa_flags = 0) instead of signal, or to execute a query immediately after killing slapd, eg:

kill -TERM pid 
ldapsearch -b ""
