Admin Guide Section 5.4. "Converting old style slapd.conf(5) file to cn=config
format" suggests that it is enough to run a slapd tool with both -f and -F
options to perform this conversion. While strictly true, this will almost
certainly result in an un-manageable server because there is no rootPW set for
cn=config.

The attached patch provides guidance to avoid this trap.
