From the manpage of slapadd:
'-n dbnum Add entries to the dbnum-th database listed in the
configuration file. The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b
option. To populate the config database slapd-config(5), use -n 0 as it
is always the first database. It must physically exist on the
filesystem prior to this, however.'
