I am new to LDAP and have installed and configured Openladp 1.2.10 on my Red Hat
6.0 server for qmail evaluation test.

Having defined dn for organzation and person entries in the database for
testing, I can retrieve and update the entries without problem. 

I removed the database files from /var/qmail/users and started new definition
for new objectclass qmailUser into the slapd.oc.conf file. Details of the entry
is shown below:

objectclass qmailUser
     requires
          objectclass,
          mail,
          uid,
     allows,
          mailMessageStore,
          homeDirectory,
          userPassword
          mailAlternateAddress,
          qmailUID,
          qmailGID,
          mailQuota,
          mailHost,
          mailForwardingAddress,
          deliveryProgramPath,
          qmailDotMode,
          deliveryMode,
          mailReplyText,
          accountStatus

I also added the following entries into the slapd.at.conf file:

attribute    mailAlternateAddress    cis
attribute    qmailUID                ces
attribute    qmailGID                ces
attribute    mailMessageStore        cis
attribute    homeDirectory           cis
attribute    mailQuota               ces
attribute    mailForwardAddress      cis
attribute    deliveryProgramPath     cis
attribute    deliveryMode            cis
attribute    mailReplyText           cis
attribute    mailDotMode             cis
attribute    mailHost                cis
attribute    accountStatus           cis

My slapd.conf have been updated as follow:

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.at.conf
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.oc.conf

schemacheck on
pidfile /usr/local/var/slapd.pid
argsfile /usr/local/var/slapd.args
loglevel 4
database ldbm
lastmod  on
suffix "o=cwhkt, c=hk"
rootdn "cn=root, o-cwhkt, c=hk"
rootpw secret
index mail, mailAlternateAddress, uid
indes default none
directory /var/qmail/users

After defining the above information, I kill -9 all the slapd processes and
restart them again using a script"/usr/local/libexec/slapd 
-f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf" from the /root directory. No response was
shown after I started this command.

Why? How and where can I define new qmail objectclass and attributes in order to
start my qmail-ldap test. 

Thanks.
