hrm weird. slapindex didn't create an index all it did was fubar my LDAP tree. ahh well I just turned on the indexing and used ldapadd with the ldif that I have backed up. It's working fine now, doesn't seem any faster but of course not many people use my server so the indexes probably aren't really needed but might as well leave them there.
