Hi,

After installing and configuring openldap-ltb 2.5.9.1 on ubuntu 20.04, the log file openldap.log was not created in /var/log/. Configuration seemed fine in rsyslog.conf. After restarting rsyslog using systemctl restart rsyslog, the log file did appear as expected.

Hello,

That's because *syslog is not reloaded/restarted.

However, the logrotate is doing the job, so at a moment, the log will start working.

Anyway, a fix is interesting to immediately restart *syslog.

TODO:

  • find out a way to get the corresponding *syslog implementation
  • restart it in postinst / postrm
  • commit the fix only in OpenLDAP 2.5 branch (no syslog in 2.6)

Thanks for the report.

Done in 79ee938

As it can be any implementation of syslog (syslog, rsyslog, syslog-ng,...), I have made a simple fix:
Check if rsyslog is present and started -> if so, restart it after adding openldap rsyslog configuration
