I did attempt to use the Quick Start section of the 2.4 Administration
Guide. Since I have a binary install as part of CentOS I bypassed steps
1-7 which cover the source download, configuration, build and install.
Step 8 (Edit the configuration file) references a slapd.conf file that
is not present on my system. I found it rather hard to proceed any
further.

At this point I am very hesitant to do any major changes to the
software without some specific reason for it. All I am attempting to
do at this point is just to get a simple working configuration that
I an learn and build on.
Thanks for your suggestions.
