When I did a "listusers" on the SPARC box (no Linux equivalent) it only returned 491 users (although my directory contains 40000+ users). This is disturbingly close to the "500 rows maximum returned" by OpenLDAP server. When I increased sizelimit (in OpenLDAP slapd) to 5000 rows, "listusers" returned 4991 rows.. However I wrote a little program that did getpwnam() and it worked OK, returned SAME RESULTS using PADL LDAP on Linux and Solaris SPARC with no CPU load spikes. I think what this means is that Solaris 8 listusers and finger are BROKEN because they seem to force a return of all rows. Well at least everything works fine. Oddly enough, telnet worked even if I hadn't installed pam_ldap.. (probably was using the Solaris pam_ldap module). -- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GE d(-) s: a-25 C++++ UBLSI++++$ P+++ L+++>++++ E- W++ N(+) o K? w O-- M- !V PS(++) PE- Y PGP-- t(+)@ 5(+) X++@ R(+) tv@ b++ DI++ G e++@ h--(*) r% y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
