you are missing local4.debug in your syslog.conf, syslog messages are logged at DEBUG level by default, unless you say otherwise.
" -s syslog-level This option tells slapd at what level debugging statements should be logged to the syslog(8) facility. The value "sys- log-level" can be set to any value or combination allowed by the "-d" switch. Slapd logs all messages selected by "syslog-level" at the syslog(3) severity level "DEBUG", on the unit specified with "-l". "
Thanks! Now I am getting the same output as I would get if I ran slapd in debug mode (will fine tune later now I know what I am looking for). I honestly did not expect it, but hey I am learning something new! =)
dont know why the other log is not working, perhaps check you are not writing logs as the ldap user or you need to --enable-debug during configure ?.
Good question, specially since now /var/log/ldap is being written. At the same time, it barking that I did not setup monitoring (probably need to --enable-debug and recompile):
Mar 1 09:45:09 auth slapd[12169]: [ID 468869 local4.debug] bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to enable
Do I need that to write to a log file defined in slapd.conf?
Cheers Brett

I am feeling rather confused here. I installed openldap in a solaris10/sparc box but I do not seem to persuade it to write to a log file. FYI, right now I am running slapd as root so permissions AFAIk should not be the issue. FYI, syslog here is the old, non-rsyslog/syslog-ng variety.
So, in the /etc/syslog.conf file I have:
local4.info /var/log/ldap.log local4.err /var/log/ldap.log local4.notice /var/log/ldap.log
which makes me think I should be covering every possible message sent by slapd. Now /var/log/ldap.log is created as
-rw------- 1 root sys 0 Feb 28 16:21 ldap.log
and in the slapd.conf file I have
loglevel 11560 logfile /var/log/slapd.log
which not only should mean slapd is blabbing a lot to the log file. Also note I am telling it to write to /var/log/slapd.log,
-rw------- 1 root sys 0 Mar 1 07:39 slapd.log
When I start slapd (after restarting syslog just in case), nothing is written to those two log files. In fact, the only clue that something happened is the data in slapd.log changed:
-rw------- 1 root sys 0 Feb 28 16:21 ldap.log -rw------- 1 root sys 0 Mar 1 07:40 slapd.log
Anything I am missing here?
