While I agree, that consistency of documentation is important, I am
still very unhappy with the user root:

1) The depicted ldap situation applies to both situations I will be
dealing with when I get to deploy OpenGroupware. Especially in a
corporate environment it is likely to find existing LDAP setups and then
it is really nasty having the user named root.

2) People are confused by the user name root. I have been giving some
help to users on #ogo, and every single one was confused by the log
entry complaining about a password for user "root" not set.

The name root is reserved for the machines superuser and I don't like
the idea of attaching a second, unrelated role to that name. Changing
this upstream would be the best idea I think.

Sebastian
