H1: Running slapd
Slapd can be run in two different modes, stand-alone or from
inetd(8). Stand-alone operation is recommended, especially if you
are using the LDBM backend. This allows the backend to take
advantage of caching and avoids concurrency problems with the
LDBM index files. If you are running only a PASSWD or SHELL
backend, running from inetd is an option. How to do this is
described in the next section, after the command-line options and
stand-alone daemon operation are described.
{{Slapd}}(8) is designed to be run as a stand-alone server. This allows
the server to take advantage of caching, manage concurrency issues
with underlying databases, and conserve system resources. Running
from {{inetd}}(8) is {{NOT}} an option.

Debugging levels are additive. That is, if you want to trace function
calls and watch the config file being processed, you would set
level to the sum of those two levels (in this case, 65). Consult

You may enable multiple levels by specifying the debug option
once for each desired level. Or, since debugging levels are
additive, you can do the math yourself. That is, if you want
to trace function calls and watch the config file being
processed, you could set level to the sum of those two levels
(in this case, {{EX: -d 65}}). Or, you can let slapd do the
math, (e.g. {{EX: -d 1 -d 64}}). Consult {{EX: <ldap.h>}} for
more details.
Note: slapd must have been compiled with {{EX:-DLDAP_DEBUG}}
defined for any debugging information beyond the two stats levels

This option specifies an alternate configuration file for slapd.

This option tells slapd that it is running from inetd instead of as a
stand-alone server. See the next section on running slapd from
inetd for more details.
E: -p <port>
This option specifies an alternate TCP port on which slapd should
listen for connections. The default port is 389.

H2: Running slapd from inetd
First, make sure that running from {{I: inetd}}(8) is a good idea. If you
are using the LDBM backend, it is not. If you are in a high-volume
environment, the overhead of running from inetd also makes it a
bad idea. Otherwise, you may proceed with the two steps
necessary.
Step 1 is to add a line like this to your {{EX: /etc/services}} file:
E: ldap 389 # ldap directory service
Step 2 is to add a line like this to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
E: ldap stream tcp nowait nobody $(ETCDIR)/slapd slapd -i
where {{EX: ETCDIR}} has the value you gave it in the
{{EX: Make-common}} file
during pre-build configuration. Finally, send inetd a HUP signal,
and you should be all set.
