 The freebsd-tips suggest:
 ports/net/netcat port is useful not only for redirecting input/output
 to TCP or UDP connections, but also for proxying them with inetd(8).

We need to update the tips, then: nc(1) doesn't have to be added from ports, 
it's been in the base system since 5.4.

Re: Configuring OpenLDAP on FreeBSD 6.2 Release, Problems.

 Hi All,
 I am a newcomer to the FreeBSD world. I am trying to implement a openLDAP
 installation. It all went ok with the SASL and SERVER install in
 conjunction with BDB, yet when I try starting the service using
 /usr/local/libexec/slapd  or  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd start, the
 service does not start.

This may be a very silly question, but have you enabled slapd in /etc/rc.conf?

The startup scripts in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d won't run unless the 
associated control variable is set to YES in /etc/rc.conf. To find the 
right variable and its current setting,

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd rcvar

which in this case tells us the control variable is $slapd_enable, 
so /etc/rc.conf needs to contain

slapd_enable=YES

As a bonus, if this isn't set but you want to do a one-off start or stop (for 
example during testing), you can use onestart and onestop:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd onestart

which ignores the control variable.
