Thanks, but I need to nak my own patch since it's imcomplete.

This isn't going to work well when upgrading an instance.  We don't 
regenerate the start-slapd script when running 'setup-ds.pl -u'.  This 
means that an upgraded instance will not work properly with any of the 
admin server CGIs that need to parse the instance name from 
start-slapd.  This issue is already a problem not related to this patch, 
but it seems we should fix it along with this issue.

I suppose the right thing to do is to make 'setup-ds.pl -u' generate a 
new start-slapd script for the existing instances as well as a new 
instance specific initconfig script if one doesn't exist.  I think we 
need to avoid wiping out an existing instance specific sysconfig script 
since it may have been modified by an admin to add other stuff to it 
(like KRB5_KTNAME for Kerberos).  Do you see any problems with this 
approach?
