Hi, Florian.

The LDAP server provided by z/VM requires that it's message catalog file
be stored in the BFS and not just on TCPMAINT's 591 mdisk. Here's what
the manual has to say:

The LDAP server requires use of the OpenExtensions Byte File System to
access the LDAP server message catalog files and to store the schema
backend and other database files associated with the LDBM or GDBM
backends. The message catalog files are installed by default in
/../VMBFS:VMSYS:ROOT. The working directory in which the LDAP server
creates its schema and other database files defaults is
/../VMBFS:VMSYS:userid/, where userid is the user ID of the LDAP server.

I think this is because the LDAP code in z/VM is a port from z/OS, where
it uses the USS-HFS to store its files in.

Good luck.
