The admin guide says:
A monitor (slapd-monitor(5)) now needs a rootdn entry. If you do not
have one, slapd will fail to start up with an error message like so:

             monitor_back_register_entry_attrs(""):
base="cn=databases,cn=monitor" scope=one

filter="(namingContexts:distinguishedNameMatch:=dc=example,dc=com)":
unable to find entry
             backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (1)
             slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u
switch)

Am I the only one to not experience this? Or is it going to happen
somewhere in the 2.4 series?


If your default ACL allows general read access to cn=monitor, then
you won't see any problems. If you define ACLs to restrict access to
cn=monitor, then you'll need to define a rootdn.


Well I restrict acces and I have no rootdn and slapd works like a charm.
My mistake. That note was added to the Guide on September 3 2007. A few days after that I wrote a fix for this behavior and it was committed on September 15 2007. I guess we can remove that note...
