Does loglevel have an effect when slapd is started (redhat: service ldap start) or only when data is loaded into the bdb database (slapadd -l /tmp/ldif). I restarted my slapd this morning and it appears to be using the logging level I specified in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf yesterday and not the logging level in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf today. Do logging levels persist from the original slapadd? Mike
