No log file after install until rsyslog is restarted #86

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
