Ok, it can all be changed. For cn=config I often use GQ, since that's a 
handy tool, to change olcLogLevel on running servers. But changing the 
order of olc Access, for example, isn't easily accomplished (this has 
been discussed before) and all on the fly changes are lost the next time 
the daemon is restarted (assuming a valid slapd.conf and other included 
conf files). I should have written that it's not a practical solution at 
the moment.

Possibly, he didn't make that clear.
