The slapd-bdb(5) man page seems to me unclear with respect to the dbconfig
directive.  In fact, what I gather from the text is that if no DB_CONFIG file
exists, any dbconfig directive will be used to generate one; otherwise, an
existing DB_CONFIG file will not be altered.  What is unclear is what happens if
both a DB_CONFIG file and any dbconfig directives exist, and they differ?  Who
takes the precedence?  What if any dbconfig directive is not present in the
DB_CONFIG file?
