26.6. Securing OpenLDAP

Don't forget to immunize important configuration files. The immutable bit can be used to prevent one from accidentally deleting or overwriting a file that must be protected. It also prevents someone from creating a symbolic link to this file. Once your slapd.conf file has been configured, it's a good idea to immunize it with command like:
               [root@deep] /# chattr +i /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
