is there a /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf?
does it pass muster, config check 'n all?
did you enable logging?

would you pastebin your slapd.conf - masking out any passwords or
sensitive information?


I've run slapd plenty times, I bet it's something with your config
file.  Posting your /usr/ports/net/openldap24-server     make
showconfig    would be appreciative too.
