First, my apologies for the adding you, Quanah, to the cc list. Over the last few weeks, my emails have not been getting through to the openldap-technical group (haven't seen anything getting posted). Anyway, Trying to set up Monitor. I've created a Monitor directory in my ldap directory: /var/lib/openldap /var/lib/openldap/Monitor /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data All owned by ldap. My ldif looks like this: dn: olcDatabase=Monitor,cn=config objectClass:olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase:Monitor olcAccess:dn.exact="cn=ldapadmin,dc=<my_group>,dc=ldap" write olcAccess:by users read olcAccess:by * none Getting two different errors: 1) Ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80); additional info: <olcAccess> handlier exited with 1 2) Then after restarting slapd, and seeing no changes in the /var/lib/openldap/Monitor directory and ldapsearch returns # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <cn=Monitor> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # search result search: 2 result: 10 Referral ref: ldap://<ldap_server>.<my_group>.ldap/cn=Monitor??sub # numResponses: 1 John D.
