He didn't *want* two instances of the LDAP server; he was just trying to debug the server, and in the process it broke the init script's ability to find the process because he forgot to stop the service first. > Second: stealing a pidfile is not a failure on part of slapd but a > configuration error. No, it's a bug in the interaction of slapd and the (non-upstream) init script. If nothing else, it's also quite fixable with upstart, which may become the default init system in Debian fairly soon; so unlike Russ, I don't think this should be closed as "difficult to fix". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
