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?
