Description Jan Safranek 2007-06-18 15:17:42 UTC

Description of problem:

running 'service ldap start' will not create /var/run/slapd.pid. The reason is
the slapd resigns root priviledges too early and 'ldap' uses does not have right
to create the .pid file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.10

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service slapd start
  
Actual results:
no slapd.pid in /var/run/

Expected results:
slapd.pid exists in /var/run/

Additional info:
Fixed in RHEL 5: new directory /var/run/openldap is created with enough
priviledges to create the pid file by slapd.
