And it's a sad that project leaders immediatly assume users are just
unwilling to read the docs, rather than wondering if the docs need
improvement.

I just discovered why my slapd -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d attempt failed:
permissions on the slapd.d directory were wrong, so slapd just start and
quits without a message, leaving an empty directory. 

I suspect I did not had the idea to check the logs because I was just
expecting it to do the conversion in the foreground and exit. Obviously
a wrong expectation.
