The `root' over here is the root DN and *not* the root user on your unix
system. You need to type a 13 character crypted password in the conf
file, which will be the password for the root DN. You could grab one from
your /etc/shadow or make your own like this
perl -e 'print crypt "the passwd", "xy"'.
Check out rootpw option in the slapd.conf(5) man page for more stuff.
