I don't have db_recover.  Is that a script or an ldap-util?  My plan for 
fixing it tonight is to do the slapcat and then slapadd on the replicas, 
followed by slapindex on the replicas.

On the master server, all queries work ok, and the accounts in question 
will successfully add or delete depending on what I'm trying to do.  I 
am worried though, that after two attempts at simple file copy, the 
master DB might be corrupted?  If that's the case, would I slapcat out 
the contents, back up the db, and then try to rebuild it with slapadd 
and slapindex?

Thanks a lot Quanah
