Help: slapd respawning too fast

[Martin Strohbach <strohbac@teco.edu>]

Hello!

I use OpenLdap 1.2 and SuSE Linux.
Im my inittab I have added the entry
	ld:23:respawn:/usr/local/libexec/slapd -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/myslapd.conf

But something goes wrong: init always wants to restart slapd although it
is already running:

slapd[22306]: slapd starting
slapd[22311]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22312]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22316]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22324]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22322]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
init: Id "ld" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
slapd[22328]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22333]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22335]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)
slapd[22337]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)

Thanks for any help
