If you don't have slapd and slapd.conf then you probably don't have the 
openldap-servers package installed. slapd.conf should install to 
/etc/openldap. This package also contains the standard LDAP schema.

openldap is split into different packages on FC1, it's probably the same on 
FC2. There's the core package, openldap (for the basic functionality), the 
LDAP clients package openldap-clients (ldapsearch, ldapmodify etc. for 
performing manual lookups and modifications) and the LDAP server package 
openldap-servers (for servers only).
