Very Computer

Hello there,

I installed iDS 5.1 on an Ultra 10 with Solaris 8 (02/02). I installed the
recommended patches and all patches shown by idsktune. I also changed some
system and tcp parameters. iDS will be started by it's own start-script
start-slapd from /etc/rc2.d ! Now, If I boot the system, iDS crashes with
an core dump. After login as root the script start-slapd runs nice and iDS
will be startet. Does someone knows about and how to solve the problem ?

Thank you for any hints. Maybe there's a way to figure out, why the start
of iDS on boot fails ?

No but try moving your startup script to /etc/rc3.d ...
That might be enough.

   How are you starting DS in rc2.d?   If you try to start it
   directly with command line, you get core dumps.  

   The secret is to call it early in rc2.d by calling the
   start-slapd script itself.  

   If you get the "Implementing LDAP in the Enterprise" book,
   they have a prototype start script [starts both ldap and
   the iPlanet admin server] and an install script that loads
   it into init.d and links it from rc2.d.  It is easier to
   mod the prototype with your pathnames and install it
   yourself.  

   Could swear I have seen similar materials on either Sunsolve
   or iPlanet.  

   If you can't get the book or find it, post again [or remove
   the junk from my email] and mail me directly and I'll mail
   you a copy of my script from my work address.
