instalation configuration: i am loosing my hairs

["John Nietzsche" <john.nietzsche@gmail.com>]

Dear list members,

i am reading the OpenLDAP Software 2.3 Administrator's Guide. I saw
that for this version, OpenLDAP keeps its configuration inside Ldap
service itself.

I could understand how it could be done: It seemed to me an
chicken-egg problem?
After just installation, how could i "tell" openldap daemon server to
access this initial configuration file?
Where do i get this file from? Does it come from the tarball distributed?

Could you give the way i should "walk" ?

Thanks in advance.
