Ok, I finally got it work. I had purged slapd completely and removed all of its /var/lib/ldap/* stuff as well as the slapd.d directory under /etc/ldap.
After that I tried to install slapd. Same error! So I really wondered how a fresh install could present me with the same error message, although there was absolutely no TLS support, yet. And then I got it: I had a look inside /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, which was the only file left from the previous installation: TLS_RANDFILE /dev/urandom was the problem. I simply removed this tag. Then I put back my saved backup from intrepid (including overlays and TLS support), started slapd and now everything is working as expected. So my guess is that this option is broken under jaunty. It is unnecessary, because the man page tells that /dev[u]random is looked automatically. But this got broken from intrepid to jaunty. -- ldap tls refusing to initialize https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
