Hello, Thank you for your answer, I already read the man because asking my question but I will read it again. My question was about logging the events in a file without using syslog. Maybe I misunderstood the documentation and slapd uses syslog only. In that case, what's the utility of this directive "logfile /var/log/slapd.log" in slapd.conf ?
