Hi

I am running Openldap 2.4.23 on RHEL6. I can telnet to the server on both
389 636 ports.
I can do a ldapsearch and ldapadd without any errors. I get this error
when I start the slapd daemon.

In addition to the issue noted by Rich, I would note that you are using an ancient release with numerous known issues that is not suitable for a production LDAP server. I would strongly advise you to use a current OpenLDAP release. If you do not feel comfortable building OpenLDAP yourself, there are packages available at <http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap> that should meet your needs.

Yes, probably it is the best thing to do. BUT have you recently looked to the bugfix openldap backport from RED HAT ? Or from other commercial distro ? New feature is a point, but old bugfix are another. JMHO.
