Further lets look at the entire line - index_param failed was not the
full story. The full line of error message is

<= bdb_equality_candidates: (uniqueMember) index_param failed (18)

That made me think ... Where in goods name came the "equality candidat"
from and why is that damn system looking for uniqueMember. I looked at
my LDIF - no non unique definition.
But only for all "human beings" ... hmmm and some "non human" accounts
like mailman and dovecot.



What is the solution:
At the end it is logic and easy - but you have to know.

If you have an entry in you passwd/shadow AND your OpenLDAP database
you'll see this kind of messages. You simply need to delete either one
account in LDAP or your passwd.
BEWARE: DO NOT DELETE root from passwd but from LDAP - just in case your
LDAP is currupt, you'll never be able to login you your system.


this is not a solution in my case. there is not any entry which are both
in passwd and ldap, but i still got the error message:
<= bdb_equality_candidates: (uniqueMember) index_param failed (18)
anybody knows the solution?
