Can you slapcat your config back out and show us everything?
slapdcat -n 0 > config.ldif
/usr/sbin/slapd not /usr/local/libexec/slapd ?
I'm curious as to his statement above. My Slackware package installs
slapd to /usr/libexec/slapd. There is no other version. Your statement
seems to imply there could be two versions. Can you help me understand why?
And while I'm at it, can someone explain how slapd knows to act
differently when called from one link, say, slapcat, over another, say
slapdn. I've been using linux for 5-6 years and have not run across
this particular behavior. Does slapd read argv(0) and act differently
based on that?
