We had a network crash one day.  After the network crash, the OpenLDAP is found
down.
We have to restart OpenLDAP and found that some data nodes were missing.  We
then
tried to re-add the entries using executable ldapadd/ldapmodify.  It gives the
error
saying the entry already existing.  The error message of ldapadd is the
following:
ldap_add_s: Already exists

But if I try to delete it with ldapdelete, it shows:
ldap_delete_s: No such object

There must be some data synchronization problem within the database.
My 1st question is how to fix this so that we can re-enter the data of the lost
nodes.
The 2nd question is whether this is a bug of the system, do we have a fix.

Thanks
Weidong
