Not sure if you know, but what you should be doing is making changes and then running: slaptest -F myconf.d -d my_debug_level_if_different_from_my_conf Then slapd doesn't need to start and you'll see any errors. You can also do the same with: slapacl -F myconf.d --extra_options_from_man_slapacl to test your ACLs whilst referencing man slapd.access (5) -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.
