Log file location

[Pravin Joshi]

Where is the log file located by default? I have not specified it in
slapd.conf. Please guide. Thanks.

I believe (I'm new at this also) that slapd logs to syslog. If you
haven't played around with your syslog configuration, you will probably
find your slapd messages in /var/log/messages.

You may find that running slapcat -d -1 is useful for debugging your
schema- I found it more useful than the slapd logs(even with the
loglevel set very high)

you can also run slapd -d -1 and watch the debugging in your terminal
window- also useful

Hope that helps!

You can also use the [-l syslog-local-user] option to slapd
slapd -l LOCAL3 for exemple and then put in your syslog.conf a line:
local3.* /var/log/ldap.log
