dear list,

I seem to be having an ldap problem... rcldap start / stop / restart etc all work as expected, but "rcldap reload" gives: "missing" in red characters.

What does this mean? Is it serious..? (things currently seem to work...) And how to solve this..? Pointers would be very much appreciated.

BTW: I'm also having an ldap replication problem that I'm posting in a seperate post. (I don't think they are related, but you never know.. Just wanted to be complete) (subject of the replication problem post is: 'ldap replication problem on sles9')

Thanks very much, Mourik Jan

Hi Mourik, As OpenLDAP is running in user mode, it cannot be reloaded. It binds to ports below 1024 ( 389 [ unencrypted or startTLS], 636[ SSL] ), which is only allowed to root. So it has to be started as root and then it changes the user / group to e.g. ldap:ldap So the "reload" feature of the init script shows "missing". You'd have to use "rcldap restart" instead. Hope that helps, Markus
