The impacted man pages contain the following (example) .ft setting in the
"EXAMPLES" section:

.ft tt
        /opt/symas/bin/slapadd \-l ldif
.ft

"tt" refers to the mono-spaced font "teletype" which is no longer recognized by
groff/troff and modern web browsers. The affected man pages include:
./man8/slapadd.8, ./man8/slapcat.8, ./man8/slapacl.8, ./man8/slaptest.8,
./man8/slapdn.8, ./man8/slapindex.8, ./man8/slapmodify.8, ./man8/slapd.8,
./man8/slapschema.8, ./man8/slapauth.8 and ./man5/ldif.5

The current verbiage should be replaced by:

.EX
        /opt/symas/bin/slapadd \-l ldif
.EE

Please refer to man 7 groff_man for an explanation of these settings. The
replacement syntax has been tested and works as expected.
