Re: central authentication with LDAP
Using the "-x" switch to disable SASL is one solution to this (and it's quite
adequate for localhost connections). For network connections you may want to
get SASL working (I don't know how to do this) or to use TLS (not currently
supported in Debian packages last time I checked).
Tried that but it didn't work either.

Strange. Sounds like a buggy init script. A new set of OpenLDAP packages is
due soon, hopefully they'll involve a re-write of the start scripts.
It's not the init script. I tried starting it by hand with the same result.

The slapd doesn't display enough debugging info. You'll have to strace it to
find out what that error means exactly.
Actually after it spit out a few thousand connect messages it locked up the
computer. The computer kept saying no free files. I had to reboot using the
switch!. I went home after that. Something is very very broken but I have
no idea what it is..
