It is a problem that a slappasswd user must have read privilage on slapd.conf (or slapd.d) by this patch...

slappasswd is an administrative command; if you don't have administrator access already you have no business running it.

What in any way makes it administrative? You simply give it a password to convert into whatever scheme for you. Where is the administrative requirement? Why shouldn't X user with some particular permissions into the database, but not the configuration, be able to run it to generate a value?
