Thanks for the reply Bill. This is certainly helpful. The OS is Redhat 9. Is there an equivalent to /etc/default/slapd? Everything I find says OpenLDAP no longer reads its configuration from the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file. Instead, it uses a configuration database located in the /etc/openldap/slapd.d/ directory. I'm probably getting my slapd files confused.
