   I'm trying to use the ldapi inteface, /var/run/slapd/ldapi, for 
OpenLDAP.  The default permissions after install of the SuSE 9.3 
OpenLDAP RPM were:
drwx------ /var/run/slapd
srwxr-xr-x /var/run/slapd/ldapi

   For non root processes to be able to search the directory the 
permissions have to be set to:
drwx--x--x /var/run/slapd
srwxrwxrwx /var/run/slapd/ldapi

   If I set these permissions manually, everything works fine.  
However, a restart of the ldap server "rcldap restart" resets some of 
the permssions and we have:
drwx--x--x /var/run/slapd
srwxr-xr-x /var/run/slapd/ldapi

   This breaks all the non root processes trying to access the 
directory via the socket.  The same problem occurs in SuSE 9.2.  I've 
gone through the init scripts for ldap but can't find what is changing 
these permissions.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason Joines
