Package: slapd Version: 2.3.30-5+etch1 Severity: normal The slapd.conf man files explains that log levels can be set in slapd.conf in various ways. One way is to list the names of the different levels eg. 'conns' or 'args'.
When specifying 'packet' as log level, slapd fails to start, and loudly complains that log level 'packet' is not known. Note that specifying the log level via its integer value (2) does work. I'm not sure whether the man file is incorrect (and packet is not a correct log level name) or it's an issue in slapd. Whatever the root cause, adjusting the log level after having RTFM shouln't cause slapd to stop functioning. To reproduce this issue, alter yout slapd.conf to have the following log level: loglevel packet And restart slapd.
