I'm almost entirely running things like slapd through runit these days,
so a sane runit starting environment would imho be good (chrooted + hdb
by default). If you have a suggestion for a good place, I'll be
probably able to contribute such a thing, but this doesn't interact too
well with logcheck (different formats etc.).

Otherwise, I'd assumed that just having a variable like

START_SLAPD

in /etc/default/slapd

similar to what SSH or other packages have, would imho be sufficient.


Best,
