Re: Problems with the file core.schema included with OpenLDAP2.1.22 & 2.1.25

Thanks Kurt, I see that now, my startup script *is* referencing the older slapd. Duh. 

So why didn't the make install overwrite it, or provide an error or note that it didn't? my prefix in ./configure was set to /usr rather than /usr/local, so it *should* have been put in /usr/sbin, no? Why is it in /usr/libexec? That isn't horribly clear from the ./configure help, in my opinion. (/usr/libexec/slapd is the 'right one'?)

Thanks again in advance for the clarification. 

Lee
