You likely need to setup syslogd to work with slapd. I dont remember how to do it in debian, so you may need to do some research

To check slapd is working, stop slapd and start it from the command line with slapd -d 256, and it will print the log to the console. If you have troubles from there you would be well advised to post the out otput of logs so we can help you.

Hi list, I'm using debian lenny,[1], with openldap 2.4.11 and in many cases simply to LDAP, while not log information. My slapd.conf is:

P.S. note that the loglevel is 256 and I have no record of trouble.
