Bug Description

The default installation of a ldap server in Ubuntu Dapper Drake is a setup so that the rootdn password is included in the /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. A /etc/ldap.secret file is thus not generated. As I understand, the use of /etc/ldap.secret is old style.

Steps to reproduce:

$ sudo ldapaddgroup urga 500
cat: /etc/ldap.secret: No such file or directory
Error adding group urga to LDAP

The config file /etc/ldapscript/ldapscripts.conf doesn't contain a setting to change this behaviour.

i can reproduce it in feisty also.

libnss introduces a change in its behaviour, now the file used is

/etc/libnss-ldap.secret

but ldapscripts are still looking for /etc/ldap.secret

a simple soft link solves de problem, maybe should be done by debconf postscript.

---------------
ldapscripts (1.8.0-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New Upstream release (LP: #261462)
  * Package no longer needs the workstation to be configured
    for LDAP auth in order to work (LP: #114006, LP #256091)
    - Removed debian.runtime
    - Package doesn't depend on libnss-ldap
  * Updated Homepage field
  * Improved the Description language, to make it clearer
  * /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd is used by default (LP: #49007)
  * ldapinit now uses the 'ldapadd -c' option allowing the script to continue if
    objects are already present (LP: #126759)
  * Adjusted the default ldapscripts.conf file for new options.
