enterprise ~ # /etc/init.d/slapd start
slapd            | * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                                                          [ ok ]
slapd            | * Starting ldap-server ...                                                                                                                                  [ !! ]
slapd            | * ERROR: slapd failed to start

Now this does not help a lot to find why it failed as syslog is also empty. Removing the --quiet option to s-s-d shows instead

enterprise ~ # /etc/init.d/slapd start
slapd            | * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                                                          [ ok ]
slapd            | * Starting ldap-server ...
slapd            |Unrecognized database type (hdb)
slapd            | * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/lib64/openldap/slapd'                                                                                            [ !! ]
slapd            | * ERROR: slapd failed to start

Quite a bit more helpful. Maybe you should remove --quiet from the s-s-d call?

Thanks,
Diego
