Easy fix: Make sure the pidfile is in a directory writable by the ldap user. I use /var/run/slapd/ which is owned by the ldap user. The pidfile is configured in slapd.conf. Note for implementation using debconf: - database directories must be writable by ldap user - config files must be readable by ldap user - pidfile directory must be writable by ldap user Greetings Torsten
