There are a few limits in slapd(8), or underlying systems, that restrict how big an entry can be. >So I have been asked to add memberUid's for all of the members of a group >entry.

Not enough space (12) You are likely exhausting a Berkeley DB resource. >If there is theoretically no size limit, I can only imagine that this is a >berkeley DB restriction and.. if so.. does anyone know how to tweak BDB to >allow larger entries? Thanks! The FAQ, as well as Berkeley DB documentation, has some discussion as to how to configure/turn Berkeley DB.
