There seems to be a problem with init dependencies. I have net-nds/openldap-2.4.24 installed and sys-apps/dbus-1.4.16. When my system boots slapd fails to start. See the rc.log below. <snip> rc default logging started at Mon Jan 30 08:21:00 2012 * Starting syslog-ng ... [ ok ] * Starting DHCP Client Daemon ...

[ ok ] * Adding routes * default gw 192.168.2.1 ... [ ok ] </snip> From what I understand the init script of OpenLDAP (/etc/init.d/slapd) requires that slapd be started AFTER net has been provided but BEFORE dbus. That would be (1) net (2) slapd (3) dbus However, I noticed that in the network interface startup scripts /etc/init.d/net.XXX it reads: 26 case "${IFACE}" in 27 lo|lo0);; 28 *) after net.lo net.lo0 dbus;; 29 esac So all network interfaces apart from localhost shall be started AFTER dbus. This seems to be the root cause of the problem with slapd, as network is provided by net.lo to slapd that tries to starts, while net.eth0 is to start after dbus. I tried adding the following lines in my /etc/conf.d/net to fix it but it didn't work out: rc_net_lo_provide="!net" rc_net_eth0_provide="net" rc_net_eth1_provide="!net" rc_net_wlan0_provide="!net" My solution (so that slapd starts up) was to edit the init script of slapd (/etc/init.d/slapd) to remove the dbus requirement: 8 before dbus hald avahi-daemon changed to: 8 before hald avahi-daemon I'm not sure what are the implications of this or whether it would be better to fix this in the network startup script or somewhere else.

(In reply to comment #1) > InCVS. Robin thanks for looking into it. It seems this is still a problem in a newer version. I just upgraded to openldap-2.4.28-r1 and I noticed the new option in /etc/conf.d/slapd, rc_need="XXX". I added the interface I had problems with (rc_need="net.eth0"), but this does not work as expected. I now have the same problem again, with slapd attempting to start before dbus. I looked at the newer /etc/init.d/slapd and it has again: 12 before dbus hald and there is still in /etc/init.d/net.lo 28 *) after net.lo net.lo0 dbus;; (I removed dbus from here to properly fix it) I ended up removing "dbus" as a prerequisite for any network interface, which makes sense to me and I left /etc/init.d/slapd as is this time. I think to properly solve this a decision must be made if dbus is necessary for any interfaces to be started. I think it shouldn't be there. I attach you my rc.log (before editing them to make it work), it may help you understand what is happening. cheers rc default logging started at Sun Feb 26 13:37:00 2012 * Starting syslog-ng ...

(In reply to comment #1) > InCVS. any chance of actually fixing this? As of 2.4.30, net.XX depends on dbus and slapd fails to start.
