Those log files are transaction logs used by the database backend. You don't want to read those.

Instead, look at the olcLogFile directive to see where logs are pointing.

Note also that if you built with syslog support, the syslog daemon will also be handling your slapd logs. IIRC, it logs to local4.

Hi,

That are transaction-logs of the database; see http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/maintenance.html#Berkeley DB Logs You should not touch them.

normaly You should look in /var/log/syslog (depending on Your configuration)

see man slapd => section logfile and loglevel and Adminguide http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html
