If slapd is running, and the change through slapd, then yes, it 
automatically updates whatever indices are necessary for that change. 
Also, if you are creating a new server, and you use slapadd to create the 
database, slapadd will create the indices that are defined in the 
slapd.conf file at that time.

There is almost never a reason to run slapindex.

"These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger
than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
