RE: slapd won't run as service

["Eddie Grenier" <edo@edwaa.com>]

Problem solved. /usr/local/var/openldap-logs is owned by the 'ldap' account
but the one and only log file in there was still owned by the 'root'
account. To fix, I did the following:

# chown -R ldap:ldap /usr/local/var/openldap-logs

The service starts now without issue.

Thanks for the help!

First, I would suggest you keep your replies on the list, so other people 
can gain knowledge too.

Second, it clearly notes it stores the log files in 
/usr/local/var/openldap-logs.  I'm guessing the slapd user can't access 
that location.
