More to the point, you should not have deleted your rootdn from slapd.conf,
only the rootpw. The rootdn directive is what tells slapd that a particular
DN should be treated as the administrator. If you don't need an administrator
identity, then you should of course delete the rootdn config. But if you *do*
need one (and for 99.99% of deployments, you need one) then you should keep
the rootdn defined.
