+An LDAP server listening on ldap://localhost and ldapi:// is assumed that
+serves a particular test directory. For setting up an LDAP server for testing
+a setup_slapd.sh script is provided. This uses the config.ldif and test.ldif
+files to setup an LDAP server in a dedicated directory.
 
-Because there will be a lot of data in the database and to test paged results
-you need the following in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf:
-  sizelimit size.prtotal=unlimited

-The LDAP server should be set up to service up the dc=test,dc=tld DN as base.

-A sample test.ldif file is also available in the SVN repository. Note that
-this file is currently not shipped in the released tarballs because it is
-quite large. Load the file into your LDAP server so that it can be served.
+If you have an LDAP server already set up on another machine with the test
+database, you should configure nslcd.conf and nslcd-test.conf to point to that
+server.
 
 Most of the names in the database have been randomly generated based on a
 combination of name-lists that were found on the Internet.
