Quotes in options /etc/default/slapd

I want to start the openldap-server (slapd) on two of the four interfaces I have: eth1 and localhost. On the commandline you can start slapd with the option -h "ldap://127.0.0.1 ldap://192.168.1.1". The quotes surround all the options to the -h parameter.

With arch, I'm supposed to supply the options in /etc/defaults/slapd. There's the line:
SLAPD_OPTIONS=""

If I put the above options in there, I get an error message about ldap://192.168.1.1 not being a command. I tried to escape the quotes by putting a  in front of 'm, but that didn't work either. Is there a way to do this?

Re: Quotes in options /etc/default/slapd

I don't use this package, so this may not help, but I can assign the right value for SLAPD_OPTIONS on the command line like this:

$ SLAPD_OPTIONS="-h "ldap://127.0.0.1 ldap://192.168.1.1""
$ echo $SLAPD_OPTIONS
-h "ldap://127.0.0.1 ldap://192.168.1.1"

Any use to you?
