Thanks all for your help!
Well yes slapd runs when I issue:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -u _openldap -g _openldap -f
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
With "ps ax | grep slapd", I get:
3347 ?? Is 0:00.03 /usr/local/libexec/slapd -u _openldap -g
_openldap -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
With "netstat -na | grep LISTEN", I get:
tcp 0 0 *.389 *.* LISTEN
I have populated OpenLDAP with entries which qmail and courier are able
to read - works great.
The only way I'm able to see logs is when I start up slapd with:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -u _openldap -g _openldap -f
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 255
Nice logs but it doesn't go to background.

I have tried starting starting it, as you suggested:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -h "ldap://127.0.0.1/";
No logs yet. (Yes..i had to create the /var/run/openldap directory
"chown -R _opendlap:_openldap /var/run/openldap" to get slapd to start
the way I posted originally - permission issue in /var/run)
/************************************************************************/
I have also tried "chown _openldap:_openldap /var/run/ldap.log"
No logs yet.

Yes..I forgot to mention I did a:
touch /var/log/ldap.log
as root.
I added, to newsyslog.conf
/var/log/ldap.log root:wheel 640 7 250 * Z
as well.
Not sure whether this is helpful.
Does slapd start properly with the /usr/local/libexec/slapd -u
_openldap -g _openldap -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf ? Can you verify
with a ps auwx | grep slapd that it is running and listening on port
389?
On my test system, I got the following when I tried your startup command
unable to open pid file "/var/run/slapd.pid" 13 (Permission denied)
Probably something I am doing wrong but but when I start openldap as
follows:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -h "ldap://127.0.01/ ldaps:///"
slapd starts and logging works well.
HTH,

Hi,
I'm having problems getting log messages from syslogd for local4
messages.
In syslog.conf, I added:
local4.* /var/log/ldap.log
I issued a restart for syslogd:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
I compiled OpenLDAP:
--with-syslog --with-debug
I start OpenLDAP with:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -u _openldap -g _openldap -f
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
I get no logs though. Anyone know what I'm missing here???
Did you do a touch /var/log/ldap.log?
I have, as well, tried:
logger -p local4.debug Hello World
Still no joy =(
