Out of curiosity, why would one want to re-index at startup of slapd? 
indices are maintained as data is modified.  The only time one needs to 
re-index is if they have modified their indices.  In OpenLDAP 2.4, it is 
trivial to re-index just those attributes that you've modified the indices 
for, by passing them to slapindex.  This is far superior than attempting to 
re-index the entire database, which could take quite a long time on large 
databases.
