Misleading information in slapd.conf:

an option _logfile_ is described in slapd.conf: "Specify a file for recording debug log messages. [...]" unfortunately it is not clear, what are "debug log messages". Obviously it is not " debugging statements and operation statistics" which can be controlled by the loglevel option.

To be honest, I have no clue what the option is for. The only result I got in using this, what a new, empty log file.

My, and (by google a few other, too) expected that the logfile option specify the file for the debugging statements.
