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 :-}
