Of course I figure this out as soon as I post... lol. I need to get a
dog so I can ask him technical problems first.
It appears that the 'ldap' account is not set up with adequate
permissions to run. There are a few issues:
1. /opt/local/var/run is set up with permissions as root:admin mode
755. slapd wants to write it's pid in there, as I presume other
daemons will also, so we can't just change the ownership of the
directory. In order to fix this, I used dscl to add ldap to the admin
group:
sudo dscl localhost append /Local/Default/Groups/admin
GroupMembership ldap
2. Then make it group writable:
sudo chmod g+w /opt/local/var/run/
3. slapd's directories need to be owned by 'ldap' as well:
sudo chown -R ldap:ldap /opt/local/etc/openldap
sudo chown -R ldap:ldap /opt/local/var/openldap-data/
There may have been one or two other tweaks I needed to make over the
course of this, but can't remember them now.
Just curious, is this something that should be handled by the install
script? I uninstalled and reinstalled the port a few times and it
never came up with this.
Thanks, Brian

Hi all,
I searched Trac for this and asked on IRC, hoping someone here has
some good info. I've installed OpenLDAP and have it set up to run
from the command line properly, but over the course of a few months,
have found that my PostgreSQL starts properly via daemondo / launchd
and slapd does not.
Daemondo is running for the slapd process, but slapd is nowhere to
be found.
So I tried to hunt down the answer to this paradox over the last
several days with vigor and have come up empty.
Does anyone have a clue what I should start looking for? The only
difference I can smell in this is that OpenLDAP is starting from the
command line as root and not starting via daemondo because it's
trying to launch as user 'ldap'. But I can't find any logs that
would confirm this and thought I would ask here first.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Brian
