RE: openldap does not want to write log files?

Unless your openldap is running as root (which it shouldn't), it won't
be able to write to the logfile, as only the user root has permissions
to do this.
Make sure your ldap user can write to this file.

Onderwerp: openldap does not want to write log files?

I am feeling rather confused here. I installed openldap in a
solaris10/sparc box but I do not seem to persuade it to write to a log
file. FYI, right now I am running slapd as root so permissions AFAIk
should not be the issue. FYI, syslog here is the old,
non-rsyslog/syslog-ng variety.

So, in the /etc/syslog.conf file I have:

local4.info                                     /var/log/ldap.log
local4.err                                      /var/log/ldap.log
local4.notice                                   /var/log/ldap.log

which makes me think I should be covering every possible message sent
by slapd. Now /var/log/ldap.log is created as

-rw-------   1 root     sys            0 Feb 28 16:21 ldap.log

and in the slapd.conf file I have

loglevel        11560
logfile         /var/log/slapd.log

which not only should mean slapd is blabbing a lot to the log file.
Also note I am telling it to write to /var/log/slapd.log,

-rw-------   1 root     sys            0 Mar  1 07:39 slapd.log

When I start slapd (after restarting syslog just in case), nothing is
written to those two log files. In fact, the only clue that something
happened is the data in slapd.log changed:

-rw-------   1 root     sys            0 Feb 28 16:21 ldap.log
-rw-------   1 root     sys            0 Mar  1 07:40 slapd.log

Anything I am missing here?
