From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: if we put SLAPD_OPTIONS=" -d 1 " in the file /etc/sysconfig/ldap. if we call /etc/init.d/ldap start it does start slapd -- good it does not exit back to the command line. So running by hand leaves slapd connected to the terminal. I tried putting the options directly into init.d but that does not work either ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openldap-servers-2.0.27-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.echo 'SLAPD_OPTIONS=" -d 1 "' > /etc/sysconfig/ldap 2. /etc/init.d/ldap start 3. Actual Results: slapd runs /etc/init.d/ldap does not exit Expected Results: slapd started as a daemon, not connected with a terminal logging debug info to the logfile Additional info: RedHat Rocks!
RTFM! The expected results are wrong. From the man page: " -d debug-level Turn on debugging as defined by debug-level. If this option is specified, even with a zero argument, slapd will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. [...] -s syslog-level This option tells slapd at what level debugging statements should be logged to the syslog(8) facility." You want "-s" not "-d". -Phil
