Hi to all,
I want to test the "lloadd" as a standalone daemon. I'm using the symas OpenLDAP 2.6 packages on a debian 11 system. I can only find the module "lloadd.la" but not the standalone daemon. If I want to us it, do I have to compile it myself?
What would be the better way using the standalone daemon or use it as a module as part of slapd.
Stefan

You can run lloadd as a standalone slapd instance that loads the lloadd module.

That's ok but the manpage for lloadd is telling me:
SYNOPSIS /opt/symas/lib/lloadd .....
And the manpage for lloadd.conf is telling me:
DESCRIPTION The file /opt/symas/etc/openldap/lloadd.conf contains configuration information for the lloadd(8)daemon
But non of the two files are existing.

Hi Stefan, usually the slapd module is preferred (due to cn=config and cn=monitor support, see RELATION TO SLAPD(8) in the lloadd manpage), and since we only get to build one in a single installation, Symas packages offer that.

There is no lloadd.conf in /opt/symas/etc/openldap/ just like there is no slapd.conf in that installation, this is just the default path for the file. However a sample file slapd.conf.default is provided for slapd.conf and maybe it would be useful that a lloadd.conf.default be provided too.

Hi Ondřej,
thank you for your answer, that's what I wanted to know.
