I believe this is solely to hold config info for the admin server/console. In the past, this also held config info for stuff like the Netscape Messaging server, etc. However, (I'm pretty sure) you can use the directory server without the admin server/o=netscaperoot tree, etc. It's just easier to administer with the console that creating everything via command line, and you need it for that. - Jeff
