With or without a -n option?   ldif2ldbm did not provide naming checks
and would allow you to any entry to any ldbm database.

slapadd also only adds entries to one backend database at a time.
Like ldif2ldbm, you must specify a -n option if you have multiple
databases.  However, ldif2ldbm -n n loaded the nth ldbm database.
slapadd -n n loads the nth database regardless of type.

Unlike ldif2ldbm, slapadd preforms basic naming and schema checks.
