Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html has the
following as step 6:


 To add the entries to the LDAP directory use the ldapadd utility:

ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W -f example.com.ldif


However, no where in the preceding setup was the user instructed to create a 
cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com entry.  In fact, since this is the *first* step that 
loads entries into the database, and this DN was not used as the rootdn for the 
database, it can't even exist yet.  The previously selected rootdn of 
cn=admin,cn=config.  Otherwise, this step (and later steps fail).

This DN is also used throughout the document for ACLs and other things,
but it is never, that I can see, created or enabled for use.
