Will do. I had found some old notes about doing a 'slapd -d 1' to start
in debugging mode or something and I had done that, but it has been at the
'slapd starting' line ever since. I'll give it 15 minutes or so while I
read up on the man page and see what it says. I am guessing this is the
same place it hangs while actually rebooting the server.
Hopefully I can get this going today so everyone can get back to work. :)
Thanks again.
