Additional Information
These are the exact steps to duplicate the problem:
1. Using the Novell Client, login as user jimsc.novell
2. Verify that you can do an exact search on the network address
ldapsearch -b o=novell -D cn=admin,o=novell -w novell -Z -h 151.155.152.4
(|("networkaddress=1#\89\41\D4\A8")("networaddress=9#\00\00\89\41\D4\A8")) dn
(Just to state the obvious, substitute your IP address hex values for the ones
above.)
3. Logout jimsc.novell.
4. Even though network address has been flagged non-present, you can still do
an exact search on it. The search in #2 should still return cn=jimsc,o=novell.
