I found a strange behavior in the unique overlay.

unique overlay only works, when a rootdn is specified in the slapd.conf, because the unique_search function uses the rootdn for searching. (took me hours to determine why my configuration didn't do it's job)

Isn't it more reasonable to use the dn with which the add or modify is performed? Or mention this circumstance at least in the manpage?!
