The most privileged user available on Unix machines. The root user has complete access privileges to all files on the machine. When information that does not match the schema is stored in the directory, clients attempting to access the directory may be unable to display the proper results. Schema checking is on by default and users will receive an error if they try to save an entry that does not conform to the schema. The server daemon is a process that, once running, listens for and accepts requests from clients.
