Following a discussion on the mailing list, I submit the following as a suggestion for improvement to the Preface of the Admin Guide, to make it clear that there are other documentation resources which should be read.

Thanks. I've committed some of this suggestion to CVS HEAD. I would expect an experienced sysadmin to already know which manpage sections are relevant, and I don't believe a sysadmin needs to read the API documentation.

<snip> This document is not a complete guide to its subject matter; the man pages are the definitive documentation for OpenLDAP software. For best results, you should use those installed on your system, which will match your version of OpenLDAP. But they are also available on the web from the following links:

OpenLDAP API:

<ul> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=ldap">ldap(3)</a> </ul>

OpenLDAP configuration:

<ul> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapd.conf">slapd.conf(5)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapd-config">slapd-config(5)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapd.access">slapd.access(5)</a> </ul>

OpenLDAP command line tools:

<ul> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapacl">slapacl(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapadd">slapadd(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapauth">slapauth(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapcat">slapcat(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapdn">slapdn(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapindex">slapindex(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slappasswd">slappasswd(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapschema">slapschema(8)</a> <li><a href="http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slaptest">slaptest(8) </ul>
