that is the only slapd.conf on my system and I'm using the fedora 
provided RPMs for openldap so it has to be loading it.  also, updatedb 
&& locate id2index.dbd returns no results.

ahh thanks, totally forgot about that.  I ran ldapsearch -x -b 
'dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us' '(objectclass=*)' > 
/root/backup-ldapsearch.ldif

I think that got everything from looking at 
/root/backup-ldapsearch.ldif.  do you think I need to run anything else 
to get any other information from the directory?  So what do you think I 
should do now?  stop slapd, run slapindex, and see if it regenerates the 
files?  and if that fails, delete /var/lib/ldap/*, start slapd, and 
ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w
xxxxxxxxxxxxx -x -v -f root/backup-ldapsearch.ldif and keep my fingers 
crossed?
