Not all.
It usually works not set "rootpw", but create a real object for the 
rootdn and limit auth priviledged to it.

But I can't get it to work with cn=config.
My usually trick don't work, since I can't find a structural objectclass 
for the object, since schemas are not loaded when slapd reads the 
cn=config slapd.d directory.
