Several years ago OpenLDAP have changed their default storage into a
hierarchichal structure of LDIF-syntax files at /etc/ldap/slapd.d/,
which enables the server process to update the files according to
client requests if proper credentials are given.
That's why the owner of this structure must be identical to the user
running the server process.
