Hmm, that's weird because the main function in Debian's slapd contains
code that reads like this:

      	if ( read_config( configfile, configdir ) != 0 ) {
      		/* error handling */
	}
	if ( username != NULL || groupname != NULL ) {
		slap_init_user( username, groupname );
	}

Therefore this error should not happen. Could you be so kind to provide
an strace of slapd starting, about like this one:

    # strace -e trace=setuid32,open /usr/sbin/slapd \
	    -d 0 -g openldap -u openldap
    open("/etc/ldap/slapd.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 8
    [...]
    setuid32(101)                           = 0
    # getent passwd 101
    openldap:x:101:103:OpenLDAP Server Account,,,:/var/lib/ldap:/bin/false

As you can see it works fine on my system, with the same slapd version.
I am curious why it does not work for you...

Greetings

	Torsten
