Do you have AppArmor or SELinux enabled? A security framework of that sort might well prevent slapd from executing other programs.

Hooray! That was it! Either my distro (Ubuntu server) incorporates an apparmor file automatically withe its openLDAP package, or it's another sad case of Dueling Sysadmins. Anyway, it's now working just as advertised.

I'm such a Bronze-Age Unix guy I don't even think of things like apparmor unless I happen to have installed 'em myself.

Many many thanks.
