Re: configuration directives within opendalp itself

slapd(8) does indeed need to know where the back-config directory is. This is configured out of band using slapd's -F option (which has a compile time default, so you might see things working even if it is not provided). That solves the egg part...or is it the chicken?

Yes, every release tarball now includes a compressed chicken.

Dear gentleman,

i have read openldap administration handbook and it is stated slapd configuration may be stored inside openldap itself! But before it starts how would it access itself? Sorry if a lose something, but isn´t it a chicken-egg problem?

Thanks in advance.
