Package: slapd Version: 2.3.27-1 Severity: normal When starting slapd as the user openldap and group openldap it won't start because it can't create /var/run/slapd.args.
A fix would be adding the following to /etc/init.d/slapd: touch /var/run/slapd.args chown "$SLAPD_USER":"$SLAPD_GROUP" /var/run/slapd.args slapd deletes this file when quitting.. I propose to move the args file from /var/run/slapd.args to /var/run/slapd/slapd.args.
