RE: slaptest returns "index attribute "reqStart" undefined

[Mike Greene <mikeg@rockisland.com>]

First, sorry for top-posting.  Need to fix this mail client to do proper quoting...

Since I sent that message I was able to resolve my problem (my post hadn't made it to the list yet).  I did not realize that during the package install the overlay(s) needed to be included in the build, that was problem #1, once I realized that, I had some other issues with the build I was using so I upgraded the package to 2.4.25 and everything started working.

Since I'm just getting up to speed on ldap I'm just following what was laid out before me, so there are a number of things I'll likely be finding that need addressing.

Will add accesslog to my reading list.

Thank you for responding to my inquiry, much appreciated.
