If you lack a slapd.conf (or slapd.d) it sounds like you're NOT working on an ldap server, but rather a client.
In that case, you'd check /var/log/security, etc - where the tools you're using log (like ssh, pam, etc).
If there's a slapd.d dir, then you'd need to use ldapmodify to add the loglevel to your config.
To get those logs to syslog, you'd need to add to syslog.conf: # Log Openldap stuff (ldap servers only) local4.* -/var/log/openldap

John,
Are you attempting to log on a client?

Hi Chris -
I don't understand your question - in what context are you talking about?

Nothing in the world requires that the name of the directory for the config database be called "slapd.d". It is a mistake to assume this.

No, it's an openldap server. On Ubuntu 10.10, the slapd.conf is no longer installed/used, apparently.
I've already done: To get those logs to syslog, you'd need to add to syslog.conf: # Log Openldap stuff (ldap servers only) local4.* -/var/log/openldap
But the idea to use ldapmodify sounds intersting and I will go checkon how to do this now.
I very much appreciate your help.

Check the openldap admin guide, as well as a ton of recent mailing list entries for making changes to online configuration (stored inside /etc/openldap/slapd.d - normally - not to be edited by hand).
