I'll second that.
Ok. The way Fedora DS works with respect to RPM install is a
little
different than OpenLDAP or other similar server software packages. With
those, you generally get some of the configuration for your "instance"
with the RPM package (there is usually only the one instance, and if you
want to run another server, you have to manually configure it
yourself). With Fedora DS, there are no instance specific
files/directories in the RPM. You have to run the setup command to
create these, and this will create the following directories:
/etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - contains dse.ldif and key and cert
databases, pin.txt file, maybe the keytab as well
/usr/lib64/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - scripts like db2ldif, ldif2db, etc.
/var/lib/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - databases
/var/log/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - logs
/var/tmp/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - tmp files
/var/lock/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - lock files/dirs
So if you rpm -e, all of these will be left behind. I don't know if
that is expected or desired.
