Hi Noriko, sorry it took so long to reply, I've been busy with other work.

You can download it from here: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/systems-srv/mp/file-exchange/ Type in "fedorads" to the Pass Phrase input box and click Go. You should see three files: mail.aliases, mail.aliases.ldif and 99user.ldif. I can reproduce my problem with the above files, for example, I've tested like this: 1. Delete existing ebiRoot database (you could use userRoot). 2. Delete db/ebiRoot directory. 3. Create ebiRoot database. 4. Shutdown slapd. 5. Run db2index and verify-db.pl. No errors. 6. Start slapd. 7. Import mail aliases. I've tried with the Console and my own CLI, which can import LDIF and add entries one-by-one. The method doesn't seem to matter. 8. Shutdown slapd. 9. Run db2index and verify-db.pl, verify gives errors: Verify log files in db ... Good Verify db/ebiRoot/ancestorid.db4 ...

No, the People entries have a simpler mail value, like "foo at ebi.ac.uk". > And your mail index has the default indexing type: presence, equality, and substring? Yes. > What type of indexing does the rfc822MailMember attribute have? I've tried without any indexing, with presence and equality and with presence, equality and substring. The above errors are from verify-db.pl when I have presence and equality indeces. If I have presence, equality and substring, I get these errors for rfc822MailMember: Verify db/ebiRoot/rfc822mailmember.db4 ...

Pentium III 2x1266MHz CPUs, 2GB memory, SCSI disks. I'm using FDS 1.0.4. I'm away this week Wed-Fri, so I'll get back to you next week. Thanks for the help! Ville
