How do you specify automatic attribute indexing in slapd.conf?  I didn't
know about that.

Apparently, you ran slapindex without even reading the man page.  It
*must* be run when you change indexes in slapd.conf, and only in that
case.  And slapd *must not* be running when you run slapindex (it
complains and refuses to start, otherwise, as far as I know).

Or, if you modify indexes using ldapmodify in cn=config, re-indexing will
be automatical, no need to run slapindex.  Is this what you meant?
