If non-anonymous access is needed, the slapd.access(5) manpage needs an
update too.  (Or instead, to avoid duplicating text.)  Currently it just
says:

    Auth (=x) privileges are also required on the authzTo attribute
    of the authorizing identity and/or on the authzFrom attribute of
    the authorized identity.

but it doesn't mention to who needs that auth access.
