It could seem so, yes. But bear in mind that everyone who deals with
Openldap also has to cope with this sort of thing and few complain. And
no single commercial LDAP implementation that I know of has a forum like
this one (though Novell's comes pretty close.)

There are many things about Openldap that could seem strange compared
to, say, commercial implementations, but the product is supplied at no
charge and has a limited number of people working on it. It seems to be
developing fast both technically and in reliability.

As far as startup scripts go, you're welcome to my (modified Red Hat
Open Source) script and function definitions if you want them. That's
where the daemon startup parameters are given. It copes with plain, TLS
and SSL daemons running on 3 different ports on the same server.

Best,

Tony
