[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#395349: Slapd can't create /var/run/slapd.args (should be /var/run/slapd/slapd.args?)

[Wilco Baan Hofman]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.27-1
Severity: normal

When starting slapd as the user openldap and group openldap it won't
start because it can't create /var/run/slapd.args. 

A fix would be adding the following to /etc/init.d/slapd:
touch /var/run/slapd.args
chown "$SLAPD_USER":"$SLAPD_GROUP" /var/run/slapd.args

slapd deletes this file when quitting..

I propose to move the args file from /var/run/slapd.args to /var/run/slapd/slapd.args.

Regards,

Wilco Baan Hofman
