I'm running Centos 5, with openldap Version: 2.3.27 Release: 8.el5_2.4.
When I run:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ldap start
I get the following error:
Starting slapd: /bin/bash: /tmp/start-slapd.l14891: Permission denied
<snip>
Any chance that /tmp is mounted noexec? What is the output of the "mount" command?
