[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#390337: slapd: make sure the pidfile directory exists with correct permissions

[Peter Marschall]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.27-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

with /etc/init.d/slapd using the location of the PID file
from slapd.conf, it should make sure that this directory
exists and has the correct permissions.

The atached patch does this by generating the directory
if it does not exist and changing the permissions.

It also helps with /var/run being a tmpfs (see discussions on -devel).

Peter
