I've had it with explaining that the suffix is the root of the database which is not the rootdn which is not the Unix user "root". Any hope of renaming rootdn and rootpw to admindn and adminpw, with rootdn/pw as backwards-compatible and eventually undocumented aliases?

Hack away... if you want it in 2.4, it should be done SOON.

IMO this renaming/aliasing will lead to even more confusion on the mailing lists. In this case I'd recommend to teach people rather than changing the config code.

But with the name "rootdn", the teaching goes on forever! With a change, the confusion may some day end.
