Hi,
I'm trying to get an ldap server working on my system (want to migrate
NIS to LDAP).
I was hoping it would be as simple as installing openldap-server,
editing the configuration file (/etc/openldap/slapd.conf) and starting
the ldap service.
I guess it doesn't seem to work this way...
First of all, "/etc/init.d/ldap start" keeps on complaining about some
certificate that needs to be built (eventhough it's really there alread).
This can be solved by moving the "fi" up a few lines:
--- ldap.orig 2002-04-20 18:45:28.000000000 +0200
+++ ldap 2002-04-20 18:45:46.000000000 +0200

gprintf "\n To generate a self-signed

gprintf " the utility

+ fi
if ls /var/lib/ldap/*.gdbm > /dev/null
2>/dev/null || : ; then
gprintf " To convert a gdbm DB to a ldif

Next I still see:
# service ldap start
ldaps
To convert a gdbm DB to a ldif file, you can use
the utility /usr/sbin/slapcat-gdbm (actually openldap use
Berkeley DB 3.x)...Starting slapd (ldap + ldaps): [FAILED]
I've followed the instructions on
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/quickstart.html
and
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/dbtools.html
but I can't manage to get the ldap server running. My hunch is that it's
got todo with the ldap init script.
Has anybody else managed to get it working?
