Has something with the configuration file changed in the meantime, or

If need be I can post my slapd.conf file too.... any pointers would
be great or at least if there was somewhere to increase the logging
to say exactly what and where is wrong would be great.
Does your slapd command line include an -f or -F argument?
If I remember correctly, in 2.4 the default if not specified was to
use a traditional config file (slapd.conf(5); -f .../slapd.conf).
In 2.5 (and later), I believe the default is a configuration database
(slapd-config(5) aka cn=config; -F .../slapd.d).
You can use a slapd.conf file with 2.5. You just have to run slapd
with an explicit '-f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf'.
The slapd.ldif file is an example of an LDIF file for bootstrapping a
cn=config database (input to slapadd(8)). It is not a usable config
file on its own.
Ok I think I'm starting to get somewhere :-)
I didn't run the command like your example, instead I used -F
/usr/local/etc/openldap
This is what your command gives me:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -u ldap -g ldap -d 1 -s -1 -f
/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

So now I have to figure out where to get the ppolicy schema file from as
I can't remember if I grabbed it from the @port config or somewhere
else.....
