Nice to know that I have understood at least SOMETHING :-)

Yes I was asked many more questions:

Fedora configuration directory server? [No]:
Do you want to use another directory to store your data? [No]:
Directory server network port [389]:
Directory server identifier [lanldap2]:
administrator ID [admin]:
Suffix [dc=rus, dc=uni-stuttgart, dc=de]:
Directory Manager DN [cn=Directory Manager]:
Administration Domain [rus.uni-stuttgart.de]:
Administration port [47328]:
Run Administration Server as [root]:
Apache Directory [/usr/sbin/]:

I confirmed all defaults (besides the password, of course) and then I got:

[slapd-lanldap2]: starting up server ...
[slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . .
[slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . .
[slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . .
[slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . .


These other questions from above are not found in the log-file.

Yes.


I could now have a closer look (sh -x) at the setup-script, but I will use
another approach: I have now installed fedora core 4 in vmware.
I will later go back debugging FDS on SLES 9.
My boss wants a running LDAP server NOW :-}
