Hi,
I see under /var/lib/ldap the file log.000000001 which seems to be a binary file. How do I read it, or is there a different way to see a log of what the server does (something like the mysql.log)
It's not binary, it's just encrypted. Did you use "encrypt_log_file" in slapd.conf? In any case, you should be able to read it using something like "slapdecrypt log.000000001", provided you specify the correct cert and key files in slapd.conf.
p.
