OpenLDAP on Suse 9.2

Zone: Berkeley DB
Tags: openldap, suse
I currently trying to setup a openldap server and having issues with my slapd.conf. I can get the server up and running but I can only login via anonymous. Right now security is not a concern as this is running in a test environment.

my slapd.conf
#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#
include            /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include            /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include            /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include            /etc/openldap/schema/rfc2307bis.schema
include            /etc/openldap/schema/yast.schema

# Define global ACLs to disable default read access.

# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
# service AND an understanding of referrals.
#referral      ldap://root.openldap.org

pidfile            /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid
argsfile      /var/run/slapd/slapd.args

# Load dynamic backend modules:
modulepath      /usr/lib/openldap/modules
# moduleload      back_ldap.la
# moduleload      back_meta.la
# moduleload      back_monitor.la
# moduleload      back_perl.la

#password hash
password-hash {CLEARTEXT}


# Sample security restrictions
#      Require integrity protection (prevent hijacking)
#      Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates
#      Require 63-bit encryption for simple bind
# security ssf=1 update_ssf=112 simple_bind=64

# Sample access control policy:
#       Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
#       Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
#       Other DSEs:
#               Allow self write access to user password
#               Allow anonymous users to authenticate
#               Allow read access to everything else
#       Directives needed to implement policy:
access to dn.base=""
        by * read

access to dn.base="cn=Subschema"
        by * read

access to attr=userPassword,userPKCS12
        by self write
        by * auth

access to attr=shadowLastChange
        by self write
        by * read

access to *
        by * read

# if no access controls are present, the default policy
# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
# updates to rootdn.  (e.g., "access to * by * read")
#
# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!

suffix            "dc=somename,dc=com"
rootdn            "cn=Manager,dc=somename,dc=com"
# Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoid.  See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.
# Use of strong authentication encouraged.
rootpw            {CLEARTEXT}secret
# The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND
# should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.
# Mode 700 recommended.
directory      /var/lib/ldap
# Indices to maintain
index      objectClass      eq
(EOF)

As you can see I used Manager for rootdn and rootpw is text ...secret

slaptest gives this result

config file testing suceeded
Segmentation Fault

None the less the server still starts and works and you can login with anonymous. I can browse with phpLDAPadmin and Softerra LDAP browser. When I login with Manager the auth fails. In order to add enteries to the LDAP server you need to login with rootdn user account. Something is wrong somewhere or I am missing something. Any help would be great.
