Ok I was getting confused with the:
Specifies the slapd configuration directory. The default is /usr/etc/openldap/slapd.d.
By default I thought it meant you didn¹t not need to specify the -F¹ and it would use that directory.

I am reading the man page for slapd as well as the admin guide, but I cannot find anywhere that says how to use a directory vs a .conf file...
Chapter 5 of the 2.4 admin guide:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html
and
See the "-F" option
Also, you can use the slapdtest command to convert a slapd.conf file to a cn=config tree.
slaptest -f <conf file> -F <destination directory>
and then remove slapd.conf and just use slapd with the -F option.
