I'm building OpenLDAP version 2.4.40 from source but am unable to locate
the init script. It does not install with 'make install'. Should this
script be part of the source distribution?
Thanks,

a) Why are you building 2.4.40? It had some serious flaws. I'd advise
2.4.43.
b) OpenLDAP does not and never has, shipped an init script. Nor will it. :)

There is no init script included with the source distribution. Distro
packages usually include their own. The LTB project also provides one.

If you're building from source anyway, you might want to pick up a more
recent version while you're at it - 2.4.40 contains several important
bugs that have been fixed in later releases.

"init scripts", or systemd start scripts on Linux today, are usually
platform-specific and are therefore most times provided by a system package.
Which OS are you talking about?
Ciao, Michael.

Thanks to all who replied and set me straight. I understand now why the
source tarball does not include init scripts - talk about chasing a
moving target.
Also, was not aware of the issues with 2.4.40, don't often have the time
to stay up on the latest on all the project mailing lists. I'll d/l the
latest version and move on with life.
I'll check the ltb-project for a script that supports my current fave
linux, Debian.
Cheers,
Chuck

Hello Chuck,
you can also use LTB project Debian packages, that includes the init
script:
