Description of problem: running 'service ldap start' will not create /var/run/slapd.pid.

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.
