The .schema file is intended for consumption by old-style OpenLDAP
configuration files. The .ldif file is intended for consumption by
Netscape-derived LDAP servers, I believe, while the .openldap.ldif file
was added more recently for consumption by OpenLDAP cn=config.

That page was written before kerberos.openldap.ldif was added and hasn't
been revised. I will make a note to update it.

I think because of the [dbdefaults] ldap_servers issue described later.

This appears to be a long-standing documentation error. I will correct
the documentation to remove ldap_servers from the list of LDAP variables
which can appear in [dbdefaults].
