Hi I had thought I had replied already. I have hand crafted ldap.conf and /etc/default/slapd, but every time i upgrade the packages these files are overridden Alex On Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 08:06:55AM +, Debian Bug Tracking System wrote: This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report which was filed against the slapd package: #465148: overwrites /etc/default/slapd /etc/ldap/ldap.conf on upgrade from 2.3 - 2.4 It has been closed by Steve Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Is there an option for the conf file to be managed by debconf for openldap, like with xorg and exim. Maybe I set this in the beginning and it things it is meant to manage them and thus keeps regenerating them. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

I agree that's strange, but I can still attest that this is not a bug in the openldap package, sorry. :/ Is there an option for the conf file to be managed by debconf for openldap, like with xorg and exim. No, not at all. Such an option would in fact be completely incompatible with the dpkg conffile mechanism. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
