OpenLDAP & MySQL

Hello again! Well, I got around to testing the OpenLDAP with MySQL backend from your tutorial. Everything seems to be working fine, except one thing: slapd won't start on system startup, complains about not being able to connect via /tmp/mysql.sock If I try to start it later, it starts up just fine. I noticed that slapd is started right after mysql is started, so I thought maybe mysql doesn't have time to open the socket until slapd tries to connect. So I added REQUIRE mysql to slapd startup script, but still it complains about the same thing. Is there any other way to delay slapd startup ? Should I use AFTER mysql ? Or maybe BEFORE slapd in mysql startup script ? Will that be any good ? Or am I barking up the wrong tree alltogether ? Oh, and another question. Where did all the tutorials go ? And the login ? Or am I visiting just as you're working on the site ? Okay, I know I'm abusing your time now, but I have yet another question. I asked about it in other forums as well, but not much activity there. How can I make the make utility not fail when a dependancy is already installed ? Is using the -k option okay ? I tried to install mysql-connector-odbc and it failed because mysql-client was already installed. I used the -k option and it worked, but I am not sure if in other situations this would not break something. Cheers, Galanton Peter
