Have you looked at the paper pertaining to the method? I assume you mean
the duleg() function in package labdsv?

If so, see this reprint on Pierre Legendre's web site:

http://www.bio.umontreal.ca/legendre/reprints/index.html

1997 
      * DufrÃªne, M. & P. Legendre. 1997. Species assemblages and
        indicator species: the need for a flexible asymmetrical
        approach. Ecological Monographs 67: 345-366.

That may help answer your question. Sorry I can't be of further help - I
haven't used this method before.

If it isn't duleg() then you'll need to provide more information...
