So I guess I really did not add a monit database yet, which is exactly 
what I'd like to achieve.

Thanks for confirming.

In fact, I noticed that slapd, when started f.e. as slapcat, complains 
that no monitoring database is configured:

> root@host:~/ldap# slapcat -n 1 >/dev/null

... but adding the monitor database was impossible.

Which is what I was trying to solve these days.


Thanks and cheers,

Arno
