 |
|
I've recently updated from openldap-2.4 to openldap-2.6 and it no longer seems to be sending messages to the logs. The documentation for slapd.conf claims that it should log to syslog and stderr by default if a log file is not specified. There were some other changes between versions 2.4 and 2.6, such as the hdb database no longer being supported, but I successfully migrated to the recommended mdb database. Any thoughts on why syslog logging may not be working?
I have the following logging options set in my slapd.conf file:
| Code: | | loglevel stats sync |
*edit* Add slapd.conf log options |

Maybe build openldap with USE="debug".
And in
/etc/conf.d/slapd
use
| Code: |
OPTS="${OPTS_CONF} ..............-d <debug-level>
|
Plz see
| Code: |
-d debug-level
Turn on debugging as defined by debug-level. If this option is specified, even with a zero argument,
slapd will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. Some general operation and status
messages are printed for any value of debug-level. debug-level is taken as a bit string, with each
bit corresponding to a different kind of debugging information. See <ldap_log.h> for details.
Comma-separated arrays of friendly names can be specified to select debugging output of the corre‐
sponding debugging information. All the names recognized by the loglevel directive described in
slapd.conf(5) are supported. If debug-level is ?, a list of installed debug-levels is printed, and
slapd exits.
Remember that if you turn on packet logging, packets containing bind passwords will be output, so if
you redirect the log to a logfile, that file should be read-protected.
-s syslog-level
This option tells slapd at what debug-level debugging statements should be logged to the syslog(8)
facility. The value syslog-level can be set to any value or combination allowed by the -d switch.
Slapd logs all messages selected by syslog-level at the syslog(3) severity debug-level DEBUG, on the
unit specified with -l.

from
man slapd

| Thanks. The `-d` option isn't required, but it seems the debug USE flag is required for logging now. |
