Hi all,
how can I activate the openldap logs and where I can see the logs?
Thanks Raffo

As slapd currently logged to the syslogd(8) LOG_LOCAL4 facility, you can add this line to the /etc/syslog.conf file:
local4.* -/var/log/ldap.log
Then set the loglevel directive in slapd.conf to your needs.

Tell slapd to log to syslog with e.g. "loglevel 256" in slapd.conf, see man 'slapd.conf'. Restart slapd.
Tell syslog to output the slapd logs: How this is done varies, but typically you append something like local4.* /var/log/openldap.log to /etc/syslog.conf, and kill -HUP <the syslog pid> to tell syslogd to re-read the config file. (slapd uses the local4 syslog level by default.)
On some systems you can put '-' in front of the filename to tell syslogd to write log lines in batches instead of one by one. This can remove a significant I/O bottleneck if you have a lot of traffic. See man syslogd or man syslog.conf.
There is also a "log.xxxxxxxxxx" created in the directory with all of the other directory files, in each instance of a database directory. How does one read that data file? Is there a slap utility to read that file? Otherwise, of what use is it? And what kinds of information can one get from that log?

Those are the SleepyCat database transaction logfiles. See the documentation on oracle.com for details. The db_* tools make use of them.
As an aside, the fact that they're in the same directory is sub-optimal unless you're backed by some fancy storage array. They should ideally be on a separate spindle from the data files for performance.

Check the slapd.conf(5) man page for information on the 'loglevel' directive. The question of where your syslog software places local4 logs can be asked to the provider of that syslog software.

OK, I solved the problem.
What log level I have to set to se some log about the *rwm* procedure (like mapping etc.)
Thanks Raffo

I don't see any Debug() statemenets in rwm.c. You'll have to add them yourself if you're interested in that.
