OK for slapadd; for slapindex and other tools, what about using user/group info from the file(s) itself?

What file(s)? Assuming this is a new (and only) index? I guess the __db.* files? or the id2entry file? Just trying to see specifically where you are going on this. :)

I mean: if slapadding a brand new db, -u/-g (but -g is already in use by glue stuff) is fine. If slapadding/slapindexing an existing db, get the info from the existing file, if any, or from id2entry.bdb. I'd use a specific option, though, and bail out if no definite answer can be gathered (e.g. -H means use ownership from file, -HH use ownership from file, or from id2entry.bdb if file does not exist). Note that it would make sense to have the -HH behavior as the default...
