What kind of backend do you use? If you are using bdb, I've seen such behaviour sometimes as well, _if_ slapd was shutdown uncleanly (eg. server lockup). what helped _for us_ was this: 1. be sure that slapd is not running (ps auxw | grep slapd) 2. change to your ldap data directory 3. perform a db_recovery 4. when it's successfully done (=no strange error messages) fire up slapd again happy hacking Udo Rader BestSolution.at GmbH http://www.bestsolution.at On Mon, 2005-05-23 at 23:07 +0400, `VL wrote: > Problem: > slapd doesn`t listen on 389 port,i`m unable to connect to directory. > > Info: > > Once, i was unable to receive mail about regular backups.
