RE: logging

["Ian Moroney" <ian.moroney@techdivision.co.uk>]

Thanks for all the replies guys, looked at the output of slapd -d -1 and
it showed that there was an invalid ACCESS statement in my slapd.conf
Removed it, and it starts ok now.
BTW, I don't appear to have any syslog.conf on the system, but syslog-ng
is installed, so I put the LOCAL4.* statement into my syslog-ng.conf.in
file, so hopefully that should work now.
Thanks for all your replies! 


Thanks and Kind Regards,

Add to your syslog.conf:

LOCAL4.*    -/var/log/openldap.log

etc. and restart slapd and syslog
