Issue ID: 10556 Summary: lloadd must not initialize network in tool mode Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.13 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: hyc@openldap.org Target Milestone: ---
This is already fixed incidentally in 2.7 for ITS#10265 commit 89e34fded385ecc59ccaef1fcde2a644df5c4780
Currently the lloadd init always tries to open its listening ports, even if running as a module in slap tools. If lloadd is already running as a daemon, then tools like slapcat will fail to startup because it tries to bind a port that's already in use.
The ITS#10265 commit fixes a number of issues, and it can't be directly backported into 2.6. A small fix for this specific point will be added to RE26.
