+Document in the man page that slapindex should be run as the same user
+as slapd, and print a warning if it's run as root (since Debian defaults
+to running slapd as openldap).
+
+Not suitable for upstream in this form.  This patch needs to be reworked
+to check the BerkeleyDB database ownership and only warn if running as
+root with a database that's not owned by root.
+
+Upstream ITS #5356 filed requesting better handling of this.  Current
+upstream discussion leans towards putting the check into the database
+backend and aborting if slapd is run as a different user than the database
+owner, which is an even better fix.
