[gentoo-server] openldap init script vs slapd daemon

[tangonights]

Hi everybody!

I just installed a ldap server, but no way to get the init script working, 
while the daemon works perfectly:

# /usr/lib/openldap/slapd -u ldap -g ldap

runs ok, but the script don't:

#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
	need net
	before dbus hald avahi-daemon
	provide ldap
}

start() {
	ebegin "Starting ldap-server"
	eval start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid --
exec /usr/lib/openldap/slapd -- -u ldap -g ldap "${OPTS}"
	eend $?
}

stop() {
	ebegin "Stopping ldap-server"
	start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 2 --quiet --pidfile 
/var/run/openldap/slapd.pid 
	eend $?
}

could anybody tell me where the (fatal) differences lie?

thanks,
Stefano

May be in ${OPTS}?

Try to look /etc/conf.d/slapd
What's the logs says?

thanks Denis,
I already tried and it was working, by removing "${OPTS}" (in my case I 
replaced with -s 256, the debug option).

I could be wrong, but:
1) should the init scripts be running 'off the shelf'?
2) why openldap does not log in /var/log by default? It seems I will have to 
fight with syslog and ldap configuration files..
3) easy way, to remove "${OPTS}". but why is it there?
