Missing Ldap slapd file
My server is running Linux 7.3 which comes with ldap pre-installed. However, I can't seem to find the slapd daemon to start ldap despite all the tutorials saying the slapd will be in /etc/rc.d/init.d/slapd by default. Does anyone know what my problem is?

hi themire,
you can find the "slapd" daemon by running this command.
[user@localhost albay$] whereis slapd
it is usually found in "/usr/local/libexec/slapd" or "/usr/libexec/slapd" or /usr/sbin/slapd".
and try to execute slapd within these locations.
and you can debug it with "-d 255" for full debugging.
if something goes wrong, check out the slapd.conf
Good luck.

Thanks, I was missing the "openldap-servers....rpm". This contained the slapd daemon.

ldap.conf ldapfilter.conf ldapsearchprefs.conf ldaptemplates.conf
[root@wiggum openldap]# pwd
/etc/openldap
According to the Redhat Linux 7.3 Official Reference Guide, there should be a file called slapd.conf and a directory called schema within /etc/openldap. I've tried installing the rpm's but i am told they are already installed.
