Note that people _also_ confuse rootdn with the suffix, since the suffix
is the root of the backend's tree (and is described as that some places,
though I don't remember where at the moment).
Me, I wouldn't mistake a directory manager (the fourth possibility :-) )
with neither unix nor windows admins. But "rootdn" is IMHO ambiguous
for the top of tree as Hallvard said.
Changing "rootdn" to something else might leads to more confusion with
existing documentation. However, "admindn" looks more handy to my eyes.
