It would be nice if you could pass -u and -g options to run as another user/group so that on systems where OpenLDAP is running as another user or group, the files created by slapadd & slapindex have the correct ownerships (rather than root, for example).

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. :)
