I'm using Buchan's rpms (actually built from srpms) 2.3 on RHEL5 and 2.4 
on FC6. Buchan's slapd is actually called slapd2.[3|4], not slapd. 
Similarly all stuff that Buchan produces has 2.[3|4] tacked onto it, 
including the man pages. If you do a 'strings ldap2.3 | less' on your 
rig and look for /etc, you'll see that the default config dirs are built 
into it.

My guess is you're running the wrong slapd, even starting the wrong 
service. The correct service for you to start is ldap2.3. Also, make 
sure that the stuff you have in /etc/sysconfig/ldap2.3 is correct.
