RE: Access * by * auth? (Typo error)

["Kiran Bacche" <kiran.bacche@wipro.com>]

Oops sorry for the typo error in composing the mail!
In the slapd.conf file I have actually entered the directives as "access
to *" and not "access *"

But my question still remains the same. Why does adding
"by * auth"  provide write access??

Thanx
  Kiran
