I believe slapd logs to the local4 facility add something like

#save slapd logs seperately
local4.*                                                /var/log/slapd.log

to /etc/syslog.conf  or where ever your syslog config file is.

you will also need to prod syslog to reread its conf file.   service 
syslog restart will do on on most sysV boxes I believe.
