      The tests are fragile, and errors may cause the tests to abort
      prior to finishing. Some errors may happen due to timing problems.
      The tests take around an hour, and the time is CPU independent due
      to delays in the tests. On most systems, the tests will run up to the

      Having slapd configuration files and ldap databases in /var/lib/openldap
      readable by anyone is a SECURITY ISSUE, especially since a file stores the
      admin password in PLAIN TEXT. That's why mode 640 and root:ldap ownership
      were used. The owner is root, so only root can modify the file, and group is
      ldap, so that the group which owns slapd daemon could read but not modify
      the file in case of a security breach.

        Configuring the <command>slapd</command> servers can be complex.
        Securing the LDAP directory, especially if you are storing non-public
        data such as password databases, can also be a challenging task. In
        order to set up <application>OpenLDAP</application>, you'll need to
        modify either the <filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</filename>
        file (old method), or the <filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.ldif</filename>
        file and then use <command>ldapadd</command> to create the LDAP
        configuration database in
