Next question, and if this is veering off topic, or there is documentation 
somewhere that I haven't found yet, I can try to go that route.

I have most of my cn=config rebuilt on Symas v2.6 that was originally in Ubuntu 
v2.4, but for some reason, slapcat can't see it (I assumed that cn=config would 
be represented with `-n 0`). Slapcat can only see my "real" database (which is 
represented with '-n 1`). My permissions are still a little bit wonky though, 
because right now (on v2.6), every time I run ldapsearch to get something out 
of the `cn=config` database, I have to specify the following parameters for it 
to work: `-W -D "cn=config"

I can, for example, view the `cn=config` ACL that I have setup for a certain 
user:
root@ldap-provider:~# ldapsearch -H ldap:/// -LLL -b cn=config 
'(olcSuffix=dc=example,dc=com)' olcAccess -W -D "cn=config"
Enter LDAP Password: 

dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.exact="cn=replicate,dc=example,dc=com
 m" read by * break


What am I missing here?



root@ldap-provider:~# slapcat -b cn=config
slapcat: could not open database.

root@ldap-provider:~# slapcat -n0
slapcat: could not open database.

root@ldap-provider:~# ldapsearch -H ldap:/// -x -s base -b "" + -LLL
dn:
structuralObjectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE
configContext: cn=config
namingContexts: dc=example,dc=com
{snip}

root@ldap-provider:~# slapcat -n1 | grep "dn:"
dn: dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=us,dc=example,dc=com
dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
dn: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
