I had 2 Leopard servers (one with 10.5.5, one with 10.5.6), both displaying the following messages in the system.log every 10 seconds.
com.apple.launchd[1] (org.openldap.slapd[283]): Exited with exit code: 1 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.openldap.slapd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
These messages went on for days. As far back as all my rolled system.logs went so I couldn’t track it back to when it started. Neither of these servers were Open Directory servers so at first I suspected the AD binding so I unbound but the messages didn’t go away.
Turns out the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf had gone missing.
$ /usr/libexec/slapd -Tt could not stat config file "/etc/openldap/slapd.conf": No such file or directory (2) slaptest: bad configuration file!
The fix was as simple as:
sudo cp /etc/openldap/slapd.conf.default /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

thanks!!! This was really bugging me, though I’m not sure if it was really causing any problems. This was the fix!
Patrick, you are awesome. This worked like a charm and is by far the easiest solution I have seen. Thanks a ton my brother!
This worked. Thanks for posting!
Yay! Kind of an annoyingly useless error message. I could’a poked around a long time and not found that solution.
Thankee!
