[svlug] I need OpenLDAP help...

[Philip Martin]

Start with a netstat -tlp and look at what is listening on port 389.   
That's your ldap server.  Take note of its pid.  Then a 'lsof -p  
<pid>' should show you what files it has open, including it's config  
file.  You could also try 'rpm -qf /path/to/running/ldap/server' to  
see what package that server is from (assuming it is from an rpm).

Also note that slapcat/slapadd are meant to be used while the ldap  
server is stopped, not while it is running.

HTH,

-Philip
