Package: slapd Version: 2.3.30-5 Severity: normal Note: I've never used LDAP before, this may be a non-bug.
Following http://wiki.debian.org/OpenLDAPSetup, I tried the following command (with slapd stopped): $ sudo slapindex WARNING! Runnig as root! There's a fair chance slapd will fail to start. Check file permissions! slapd runs as the user openldap, so naturally I tried $ sudo -u openldap slapindex could not open config file "/etc/ldap/slapd.conf": Permission denied (13) slapindex: bad configuration file! I check the config file: $ ls -l /etc/ldap/slapd.conf -rw------- 1 root root 4366 2007-07-11 18:37 /etc/ldap/slapd.conf In #ldap on irc.freenode.net, _ranger_ told me that this file should be -rw-r----- 1 root openldap 4366 2007-07-11 18:37 /etc/ldap/slapd.conf This wouldn't be a problem if slapd ran as root, but apparently it runs as the user openldap by default. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.2 4.2.52+dfsg-2 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libiodbc2 3.52.4-5 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap-2.3-0 2.3.30-5 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.22-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-7 Shared Perl library ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 Authentication abstraction library ii libslp1 1.2.1-6.2 OpenSLP libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages slapd recommends: ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 Pluggable Authentication Modules f -- debconf information: slapd/password_mismatch: slapd/fix_directory: true slapd/invalid_config: true shared/organization: twb.ath.cx slapd/upgrade_slapcat_failure: slapd/upgrade_slapadd_failure: slapd/backend: BDB slapd/dump_database: when needed slapd/allow_ldap_v2: false slapd/no_configuration: false slapd/migrate_ldbm_to_bdb: true slapd/move_old_database: true slapd/suffix_change: false slapd/slave_databases_require_updateref: slapd/dump_database_destdir: /var/backups/slapd-VERSION slapd/autoconf_modules: true slapd/purge_database: false slapd/domain: twb.ath.cx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
