Hello, I know this isn't a new problem (symptom) as I have seen hints of it in the archives but no clean solution was found. First I installed all openldap RPMs using yum. I have been following "LDAP System Administrator" by Carter (O'Reilly), setting up the slapd.conf slowly and testing along the way. As you will see I don't get very far before problems start. For what ever reason, I can start ldap ldbm but not bdb. More specifically, ldap appears to start with bdb but when I check to see if the processes are active, none exist. When ldbm is specified, ldap starts I have made sure every db4-* rpm has been installed. Second symptom is (using ldbm) that I can make the root directory entry (i.e dc=metamorfix,dc=net) and then the first ou: I think gets entered but when I check using ldapsearch I get: # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object Instead of the directory listing. Okay so barge ahead anyway and try to add my name to the directory and I get the following: adding new entry "cn=Rick Cuthill,ou=contacts,dc=metamorfix,dc=net" ldapmodify: update failed: cn=Rick Cuthill,ou=contacts,dc=metamorfix,dc=net ldap_add: Internal (implementation specific) error (80) I have changed ownership of directory files from root to ldap but this didn't change any symptoms. Any suggestions? -- Best Regards, Rick Cuthill
