We are not consistent here, true. In what sense does it
really cause a problem for you instead of being a bit
inconvenent in the log file?

My general idea with the ldap_xx_suffix parameters would in
general be to use them only when we create new objects and
when searching do subtree level searches starting from 'ldap
suffix' always. The inconsistent search behaviour has caused
quite a number of bugs already, in particular with idmap and
group mapping.

So would anybody object if we changed the use of the
ldap_xx_suffix parameters to be only used when creating
objects?

Thanks,

Volker
