- the quickstart guide
(http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html) refers to a slapd.conf file which is nowhere to be found on my system.
The fact that you don't have one on your system doesn't mean it isn't provided by the project: http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/servers/slapd/slapd.conf?hideattic=...
(and, note, it is installed by default, see the 'install-conf' rule in http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/servers/slapd/Makefile.i...)
A bit of research revealed that slapd.conf has been deprecated.
slapd.conf(5) has one occurrence of the word 'deprecated', in relation to 'authz-policy any'. slapd-config(5) doesn't make any such statement.
I haven't seen any official communication about deprecation (even though Quanah has made statements on this list).
Is there a quick-start guide anywhere that is up-to-date with this change?
Assuming you didn't install from source, consult whoever provided you with OpenLDAP without a slapd.conf.
