title: LDAP: slapd and openldap
body: <p>I have a Linux server on which some LDAP server is running.
  It is started/stopped using command: start-slapd / stop-slapd</p>
  
  <p>Does it mean that the slapd is the LDAP Server that is running? 
  I also see OpenLDAP related files/installation on that server, but i am not sure if they are being used.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is my understanding correct - slapd can function independent of OpenLDAP?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I need to setup similar LDAP Server on another machine with same LDAP data. Should i just install slapd, and import the data.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to LDAP world, seeking advice.</p>
