rootpw ignored if userPassword exists



I was just wondering if this is expected behaviour.

If rootdn happens to match an existing entry in the directory, and that
entry has a userPassword attribute, the rootpw value in slapd.conf is
ignored and userPassword is used instead.

I find this a bit unexpected. Suppose someone manages to create an entry
matching rootdn. Then this person would be able to become rootdn,
bypassing the rootpw setting in slapd.conf.
