Hi Michael,

I ran this updated information by Howard Chu (primary OpenLDAP developer), 
since I couldn't see why changing the user would cause behavior changes. 
He asked the following:

[13:21] Howard Chu: have you checked permissions on /dev/random or 
/dev/urandom ?
[13:21] Howard Chu: have you checked to see if libssl is dynamically 
linked, and the root user is getting a different library path than the 
openldap user?


So having the answer to that would be useful. ;)
