If it were deleted or turned into some other sort of replication fix-up entry, then searching by (&(objectclass=nsTombstone)(nsuniqueid=19d98481-1dd211b2-8023e758-74ea0000)) should find it. I assume you already searched for (nsuniqueid=19d98481-1dd211b2-8023e758-74ea0000) and found nothing. > I can tell you that a mail attribute value was removed and added > before this change in nsuniqueid occurred. So if you just remove and add a mail attribute value to any entry, does the nsuniqueid change happen? I'm assuming not, based on what you said. So something else has to happen to make the nsuniqueid value change. This particular case seems strange to me. The first thing that happens to the entry is it's creation: nscpEntryWsi: createTimestamp;vucsn-45ecada3000000010000: 20070305235111Z nscpEntryWsi: creatorsName;vucsn-45ecada3000000010000: uid=creator,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com At this time, many of the other attributes are added to the entry: nscpEntryWsi: userPassword;vucsn-45ecada3000000010000: {crypt}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ... nscpEntryWsi: uidNumber;vucsn-45ecada3000000010000: 12498 Then, sometime later, the posix attributes are added/modified: nscpEntryWsi: uid;vucsn-45eee916000000010000;mdcsn-45eee916000000010000: auser ... nscpEntryWsi: sn;adcsn-45eee916000100010000;vucsn-45eee916000100010000: User This seems odd - were these attributes originally added with other values, then changed? Was the original dn uid=auser, or was this changed? Then, sometime later, the mail attribute was changed: nscpEntryWsi: modifyTimestamp;adcsn-4648d7560000000b0000;vucsn-4648d7560000000b0000: 20070514213629Z nscpEntryWsi: modifiersName;adcsn-4648d7560000000b0000;vucsn-4648d7560000000b0000: uid=modifier,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com nscpEntryWsi: mail;adcsn-4648d7560000000b0000;vucsn-4648d7560000000b0000: auser example com <mailto:auser%20example%20com> nscpEntryWsi: mail;vucsn-4648d7560000000b0000: auser email example com <mailto:auser%20email%20example%20com> nscpEntryWsi: mail;vucsn-4648d7560000000b0000: Another User example com <mailto:Another%20User%20example%20com> > > > > > Thanks again Richard. > > --BO > > > > On 5/15/07, *Richard Megginson* < rmeggins at redhat.com > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> > > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>>> wrote: > > > > Bjorn Oglefjorn wrote: > > > On 5/15/07, *Richard Megginson* < rmeggins at redhat.com > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> > > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>> > > > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>>>> wrote: > > > > > > Bjorn Oglefjorn wrote: > > > > On 5/15/07, *Richard Megginson* < > rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> > > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>> > > > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> <mailto: rmeggins at redhat.com > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>>> > > > > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>> > > <mailto: rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com> > <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com <mailto:rmeggins at redhat.com>>>>> wrote: > > > > > > > > Bjorn Oglefjorn wrote: > > > > > That's the problem Richard, I'm not sure how it > > > happens.
