This is the output:

@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.40 (Oct 28 2014 06:27:00) $
        gerard@scorpio.seibercom.net:/usr/ports/net/openldap24-server/work/openldap-2.4.40/servers/slapd

Included static overlays:
    syncprov
Included static backends:
    config
    ldif
    relay

Remembering that this is a FreeBSD-10 system, what should I do? This is the
configuration of the port:

/usr/ports/net/openldap24-server $ make showconfig
