Hi, all, I get the warning given in the title and ldap stops even after reporting to start successfully.
The error is fixed by doing a chown for the affected files. It was mysteriously changed to root. I change it back to ldap and it works again. However, I want to know what has caused this to happen. Anyone can help?
This often happens when someone has a cron job running via root. In any case, slapd itself will not change the ownership of those files unless you start it as root instead of your ldap user.
