-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We have just started playing with LDAP replication, and I noticed that our LDAP server (8.2) is running all the slurpd's as root.
slapd seems to drop root permissions after opening the ports, so it's ok to start it as root, but slurpd doesn't do this (since it doesn't listen, it acts as an ldap client), so it should be started as user ldap (or similar user with read access to the replication logs slapd generates). I haven't tested on cooker, but the init script on cooker does the same as on 8.2.
