That's not the empty DN.  That's the DN
	dc=""

with is a DN with one component, a single AVA, with attribute 'dc' and the 
value consisting of two double-quote characters.  The empty DN is this:


Now, to pass that through the shell to the command you'll need to quote 
it, but that's because it's the shell and the command-line:
	slapadd -v -b '' -l ./root.ldif

For the ldap.conf, the empty DN is the default value for the BASE, but 
there is no way to actually _specify_ the empty DN there.  I.e., if the 
system config (/etc/ldap.conf) specifies a base, then there's no way for 
the user's config (~/.ldaprc) to override that to specify the empty base.
