Symptoms

Ldap server (oidldapd) does not start.

Using OID NON_SSL PORT; ran root.sh for oidldap root ownership and setuid permissions.

Only errors in oidmon.log are as follows (with or without tracing):

In OID 9.0.4 (AS 10g), no oidldapd*.log created in $ORALCE_HOME/ldap/log, or if any are create, there are no errors, and perhaps just a typical shutdown.

In OID 9.2, may have followed Note: 159031.1 to clean up OID objects, then ran oidca against an existing database, but oidldapd will not start, with same symptoms above.
