Kristen, please stay on the mailing list you started the thread. Don't e-mail me solely personally.
Sorry about that.

Thanks for your help. I can't seem to be able to start the server with the -d flag. Here is what I tried:
su root -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 65535
I also tried:
su root -d 65535 -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd
And it complains in both cases that -d is an invalid option.
Using -d works for me. Which version of OpenLDAP is this?
Can you post any output it produces?
I am using openldap-2.3.39 on Ubuntu.
Here is the output:
su root -d 65535 -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd su: invalid option -- d Usage: su [options] [LOGIN]
Options: -c, --command COMMAND pass COMMAND to the invoked shell -h, --help display this help message and exit -, -l, --login make the shell a login shell -m, -p, --preserve-environment do not reset environment variables, and keep the same shell -s, --shell SHELL use SHELL instead of the default in passwd
Thanks, Kristen
