Make sure your OpenLDAP build, etc, has debugging symbols. I've never done this, so just to be sure, to do this I need to pass CFLAGS="-g -O0" when running configure, then make install STRIP="" when it's time for that step, correct?
Correct
Then, I simply "gdb /path/to/slapd [options] /path/to/slapd.core"?
Correct
Lastly, do I need to change the slapd log level at all, or will all of the helpful information be in the core file?
For now, loglevel is likely unimportant. The core file has all the information necessary.
