    This is curious... If I try to create the entry shown below but
instead of example2.com I use another thing, I'm able to create the
entry. I remember having created this entry some time ago, but then I
deleted it. Is there any way this entry may be still floating around, so
I cannot see it if I issue a search, but prevents the creation of the
same entry?


Perhaps your database is corrupted. Have you tried running db_recover if you are using BDB as your backend? Is anything returned when you search on the entry that is supposed to be deleted?

   I've tried the following (I guess it's correct) without success:

commserver ldap # /etc/init.d/slapd stop
* Stopping ldap-server... [ ok ]

commserver ldap # db4.1_recover -h /var/lib/openldap-openinput/

commserver ldap # /etc/init.d/slapd start
* Starting ldap-server... [ ok ]

commserver ldap # ldapadd -f cross-realm.ldif
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
SASL username: ldapmaster@OPENINPUT.COM
SASL SSF: 56
SASL installing layers
adding new entry "cn=krbtgt/openinput.com@baixador.com,dc=openinput,dc=com"
ldapadd: update failed: cn=krbtgt/openinput.com@baixador.com,dc=openinput,dc=com
ldap_add: Already exists (68)

commserver ldap # ldapdelete "cn=krbtgt/openinput.com@baixador.com,dc=openinput,dc=com"
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
SASL username: ldapmaster@OPENINPUT.COM
SASL SSF: 56
SASL installing layers
Delete Result: No such object (32)


From the last command you may see that trying to delete the same entry that refuses to get created results in a "No such object" error. Any ideas?

   Thanks
