This is the version of openldap I use:

I followed an LDAP installation walkthrough for centos 6.3. It did not mention the slapd.conf. I copied the slapd.conf manually from an installation directory after some googling. Because I needed to configure the rootdn and rootpw values. It worked and I assumed it was OK. But I guess I should configure these values elsewhere and get rid of slapd.conf?
Hi Jimmy,
You need to learn how to use cn=config. I would also strongly advise against using the centos packages, there are multiple known problems with them. Try http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap as an alternative to the broken bits shipped by rhel/centos.
