[SLUG] Running OpenLDAP?

["Rachel Polanskis" <rachel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sluggers,

I hope this isn't too OT (at least it's an OpenSource question!)
I have installed OpenLDAP 
but don't feel too comfortable running it as root. 

I cannot find any docos that tell me how to configure it to run as 
a special user - in my case I want it to run as an "ldap" user.

Does anyone know the steps I need to do this?

In apache it's easy, you start the process off as root, then it 
forks and changes UID to the user/group in the httpd.conf. 

Is there something like this for OpenLDAP?



Thanks...
