Hi,
If compiling and installing from source, I don't see any information in the manual about how to auto-start the software and about process/file/directory permissions and ownership. I'm still searching the Faq-O-Matic (which is a little frustrating).
Taking a step back, I'd love to install from yum on RHEL/CentOS and let it be taken care of in a trusted manner. But we require better password hashing than SHA1, so we are required to compile by hand using the passwd/sha2 contributed module (little surprised this isn't accepted into the core project, but I'm sure there are reasons). Maybe I can find this in a third-party repo somewhere?
After installation, what is commonly done in this regard? Create user/group "ldap" with no login shell and chown ldap:ldap on /usr/local/var/openldap-data? Is that all?
Then what do people use for auto-starting the software (presumably with -u ldap -g ldap) in a RedHat environment?
Thanks for the work that you do, thanks for the great software.
