RE: Ghosting Data

This seems related:

root # ldapsearch [blah] -b ou=623392770,ou=section1,o=base dn

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <ou=623392770,ou=section1,o=base> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: dn
#

# 621588406, section2, base
dn: cn=621588406,ou=section2,o=base

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1

Note the completely different DNs.  Searching with the base set to the DN returned above returns no results, but searching on one of the attributes (ie. cn=621588406, as below) returns 5 copies of the same entry.

Any ideas?

I'm about to take the offending server down and run slapindex but I fear the problem is in dn2id.bdb and id2entry.bdb, which I don't believe slapindex fixes.
