Hi Again,

Did what you asked and this is the resulted entries in the /var/log/slapd:

[root at server1 openldap]# tail /var/log/slapd.log

[root at server1 openldap]#

Don't understand this magic number business...  Should I rm the log file and  
touch another?  What db file is it referencing?  This is the listing 
of /var/lib/ldap:

[root at server1 ldap]# ls -lR /var/lib/ldap
/var/lib/ldap:
total 20
-rw-------  1 ldap ldap 460613 Jan  2 16:13 log.0000000001
drwxr-xr-x  2 ldap ldap   4096 Jan  2 16:41 replica

/var/lib/ldap/replica:
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 ldap ldap 0 Jan  2 16:41 slurpd.status
-rw-r--r--  1 ldap ldap 0 Jan  2 16:43 slurpd.status.lock
[root at server1 ldap]#

I don't see a db here but I guess there should be one?  As you can tell, I am 
quit new to this.
