Hallvard,

I'm not sure that is quite right.  He said:

> I've tried eq, sub, and approx indexes and they all give me:
> /local/ldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 105: approx index of attribute

That would imply he tried all 3 of the indices seperately (I sent another 
email to get further clarification on that..).

The schema clearly says that "eq" and "sub" should be allowed.

attributetype ( 2.5.4.16 NAME 'postalAddress'
       DESC 'RFC2256: postal address'
       EQUALITY caseIgnoreListMatch
       SUBSTR caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch
       SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41 )


So if he did:

index postalAddress eq
or
index postalAddress sub
or
index postalAddress eq,sub

(which is how his email reads)

and got that error, than that would be a bug.
