Hi, all, I get the warning given in the title and ldap stops even after
reporting to start successfully.


The error is fixed by doing a chown for the affected files. It was
mysteriously changed to root.
I change it back to ldap and it works again. However, I want to know what
has caused this to happen.
Anyone can help?

This often happens when someone has a cron job running via root. In any case, slapd itself will not change the ownership of those files unless you start it as root instead of your ldap user.
