I am running OpenLDAP 2.4.10 in a Solaris 10 local zone.

All working fine, except that I want to log to a specific file using this command line; nohup /usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 64 -d 256 2> /tmp/slapd.log &

Any special reason to start slapd that way?

First, I think is better to use the slapd log facilities combined with a syslog daemon, and second, why not run slapd as a service/daemon?.

This run ok in background, but when I exit my shell the job ends. I've often used nohup like this to start jobs and disassociate them from the users login shell, why doesn't it work here?
