Package: slapd Version: 2.2.23-8 The package includes instructions for running slapd as a non root user, however these do not work. Attempting to run as non-root causes the daemon to fail to start.
This happens because the init script runs :- "db4.2_recover -eh /var/lib/ldap" This command gets run as root, and resets permissions and ownership on the __db.00? files, which in turn causes slapd to be unable to open them. If the -e switch is omitted, the __db.00? files do not get re-created by the recovery process, but instead get created when slapd starts, so they get created with the correct ownership.
