I didn't realize it accessed the database directly. Was expecting a password 
prompt or something.. silly me :-)

OK now I got this working:
kolab at tot$ sudo slapcat -b "dc=tot,dc=kubism,dc=ku,dc=dk"
[lots of output]

but why is the servername part of the suffix? Based on my limited reading 
about LDAP I'd expected the suffix to be only the domain part.

kolab at tot$ sudo slapcat -b "dc=kubism,dc=ku,dc=dk"
slapcat: slap_init no backend for "dc=kubism,dc=ku,dc=dk"
