Well, I finally got it to work...after realizing that it's syslog that's writing to
the logfile, not slapd. By putting the following in the /etc/logrotate.d/syslog file,
I got it to work properly...
/var/log/ldap.log {
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>/dev/null || true
endscript
}
