[Bug 1452087] Re: slapd [or its init script] does not create necessary directory for nssov socket and fails to start

[Ryan Tandy]

IIRC slapd does try to create the directory, but it's already switched
users by that point, so doesn't have sufficient privileges.

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
branches/ubuntu/vivid/openldap/vivid/view/head:/contrib/slapd-
modules/nssov/nssov.c#L808

I don't know whether the overlay has a way to run code before switching
permissions. Might be worth filing an ITS about, as this really should
work. Otherwise, the init script is probably the most reasonable place
to do it; but only if nssov is actually being used.

(apparmor may also be involved as pmatulis suggests. I didn't check.)
