However, that's not the issue right now. This machine won't start LDAP unless I remove the "ldap" part from the "group" line of /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Won't start: group: files ldap
Do you start slapd with the -g option specifying a group that it should run as? Is that group defined in the /etc/group file? (If "no" for the latter, just how did you expect it to get the gid to run as?)
There are no log messages indicating a problem. slapd simply won't start.
You mean it exits? Or does it hang? Have you tried starting it with the option "-d255"?
