After some experimentation it would seem that slapd only sends output to
your configured *logfile* when you invoke slapd with the -d option to set
your loglevel. Setting a loglevel using the configuration directive does not
cause output to be sent to your *logfile*.
Interestingly enough if you do use the logfile directive and the file does
not exist slapd will create it (even if you don't use the slapd -d option).
But unless you use the -d command-line option on slapd, nothing will be
written to it.

I've been trying to get the 'logfile' configuration

(man5/slapd.conf.5) working but can't seem to. The relevant slapd.conf
entries before I define my backend look like:
loglevel stats sync
logfile /tmp/openldap/var/log/slapd.log
and the file exists before I start slapd:
$ ls -l /tmp/openldap/var/log/slapd.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 me mygrp 0 Mar 30 15:58 /tmp/openldap/var/log/slapd.log
SLAPD runs fine dumping information into syslog but my logfile stays zero
length. How can I get my logfile to get written to also?
Thank you,
