So it was.

It seems that I have to check the FreeBSD's slapd-startup script. 
Although I haven't specified any specific user for running slapd, but 
took the default user "DEFAULT". Hiowever, a user "ldap" is used at 
boot-time. By executing the script from commandline, slapd runs as "root".

But IIRC I've never propagated any user called "ldap". Hmm, strange.


BTW.: Is there any explanation why starting slapd as "ldap" takes much 
more time, than starting it as "root"?
