That was the problem, I had the top level suffix. I changed it, and now
the refs work fine.

I just looked at the database files, and it seems that it happened to me
also.

>From the "top" database directory:

$ strings * | grep -i jacksonm  

dn: uid=jacksonm, ou=accounts, dc=peelo ,dc=com
cn: jacksonm                    
homeDirectory: /home/jacksonm

$ strings * | grep -i jacksonm  

@UID=JACKSONM,OU=ACCOUNTS,DC=PEELO,DC=COM
=UID=JACKSONM,OU=ACCOUNTS,DC=PEELO,DC=COM
dn: uid=jacksonm,ou=accounts,dc=peelo,dc=com
uid: jacksonm                   
homeDirectory: /home/jacksonm


What to do about this? Or is this expected behavior?
