+Lists of access directives are evaluated in the order they appear
+in \fIslapd.conf\fP.
+When a
+.B <what>
+clause matches the datum whose access is being evaluated, its
+.B <who>
+clause list is checked.
+When a
+.B <who>
+clause matches the accessor's properties, its
+.B <access>
+and
+.B <control>
+clauses are evaluated.
+Access control checking stops at the first match of the
+.B <what>
+and
+.B <who>
+clause, unless otherwise dictated by the
+.B <control>
+clause.
+Each
+.B <who>
+clause list is implicitly terminated by a
+.LP
+.nf
+ by * none stop
+.fi
+.LP
+clause that results in stopping the access control with no access
+privileges granted.
+Each

+clause list is implicitly terminated by a

+.nf
+ access to *
+ by * none
+.fi
+.LP
+clause that results in granting no access privileges to an otherwise
+unspecified datum.
