Unless your openldap is running as root (which it shouldn't), it won't be able to write to the logfile, as only the user root has permissions to do this. Make sure your ldap user can write to this file.

I am feeling rather confused here. I installed openldap in a solaris10/sparc box but I do not seem to persuade it to write to a log file. FYI, right now I am running slapd as root so permissions AFAIk should not be the issue. FYI, syslog here is the old, non-rsyslog/syslog-ng variety. So, in the /etc/syslog.conf file I have: local4.info /var/log/ldap.log local4.err /var/log/ldap.log local4.notice /var/log/ldap.log which makes me think I should be covering every possible message sent by slapd. Now /var/log/ldap.log is created as -rw------- 1 root sys 0 Feb 28 16:21 ldap.log and in the slapd.conf file I have loglevel 11560 logfile /var/log/slapd.log which not only should mean slapd is blabbing a lot to the log file. Also note I am telling it to write to /var/log/slapd.log, -rw------- 1 root sys 0 Mar 1 07:39 slapd.log When I start slapd (after restarting syslog just in case), nothing is written to those two log files. In fact, the only clue that something happened is the data in slapd.log changed: -rw------- 1 root sys 0 Feb 28 16:21 ldap.log -rw------- 1 root sys 0 Mar 1 07:40 slapd.log Anything I am missing here? -- --
