Sorry to keep bugging, but I believe this *is* the most appropriate mailing list.
Having to create a different user just so that I can log to a different files doesn't seem like an optimal solution. Clearly, this is a lack of necessary feature for slapd where user can not override the location of the log file. Also, I've re-read the documentation many times but it seems to suggest that I am supposed to be able to forward the content of the log (sent to syslog) to a separate file. Perhaps the documentation needs to be updated?
Thanks, Soichi

I am running multiple BDII servers (listening on different port), and I need them to log to different location. If I understand correctly, "logfile" directive only works to capture stderr messages (not stats, or other logs currently sent to syslog). Since I can't tell syslog to log to a different file based on which instance of LDAP server, logs from both server goes to a single file in /var/log.
Is there anyway that I can redirect logs from each LDAP server to a different locations?
You can use '-l' to have different instances of slapd log as different syslog users. =A0See slapd(8) and syslog(8) for further details.
Please direct further sofware usage questions to the most appropriate mailing lists (openldap-technical for OpenLDAP software; Syslog-specific lists for syslog(8) detaild usage). =A0This ITS will be closed.
