Hi,
I been running this ldap server for about a month now. Last night it died for some reason. So I restarted the service. No errors on start up.
But, now I can't connect with any client. Here's the kicker. The slapd is running, but port 389 and 636 are closed. I used nmap, those ports open. Telneting into those ports was also futile.
This should not be a firewall issue. I have already opened the ports and have been using ldap for about a month.
I also tried starting slapd manually with all debug info. I haven't seen any errors yet.
I have check /var/log/messages too, nothing.
Any Ideas?

P.S. FC3, standard ldap rpm: openldap-2.2.13-2
I think that's an indication of the backend database hanging. First, shut down slapd. Make a complete backup of /var/lib/ldap. Then remove the files in /var/lib/ldap which begin with __ (most likely __db.001, __db.002 etc.). Try starting slapd again.
I think it's something to do with persistent locks which get messed up if the backend database isn't shutdown properly.
If this fails you may need to re-build the backend database from an ldif source (you have an ldif backup, I hope).
