openbsd -> syslog

Although slightly OT, hopefully an easy one:

I am trying to get OpenLDAP up & running on
an OpenBSD 3.3 box. Without logging occuring,
I am having a hard time diagnosing my problems.

I have placed 'loglevel 128' in my slapd.conf file;
which has worked well on my debian box. However, after
restarting slapd, nada. So I went into syslog.conf
and placed a line like this:

*.*        /var/log/syslog

Again, restarted, yet nada. I must admit I have
never monkeyed around with syslog, but I do not
know what else to look at.

The real problem is trying to port an existing
ldif from my debian over to this box....slapd appears
to be running, but I can not run ldapadd without
what appears to be authentication issues.

any bones?
