potential bug

Hi, While working with OpenLDAP, I've observed something strange. I am not sure if this is the anticipated behaviour. Let us say we have two attributes 'name' and 'middleName' and the former is the superior of the latter i.e.

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.74 NAME 'middleName' SUP name )

Now let us assume that the value of the attribute 'middleName' for a particular dn is 'Konda'. Then performing a search on the basedn with the filter "(name=Konda)" returns that particular dn. Is this a bug or anticipated behaviour?

Regards, Rahul.
