    Package: slapd
    Version: 2.1.30-3
    Followup-For: Bug #261696

    Hi,

    I think that I've solved this problem. It only occurs if you run slapd
    under a different user (like slapd). Then slapd is not able to write
    its pidfile to /var/run/slapd.pid. The simplest solution is to change
    the pidfile location in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf to /var/lib/slapd/slapd.pid
    and set the appropriate permissions for /var/lib/slapd.

    BTW: It would be nice, if the installation scripts would provide an
    easier way to setup slapd to run as a non-privileged user.

    Cheers Lars
