There is a problem IMO when you have over 250 users in Ldaemon. What I have found the culprit to be are the Schema Extensions that Alt-N added to OpenLDAP in an attempt to make it an option for storing all system account information. If you are using Ldaemon as you system database, change over to either the Flatfile (User.dat) or ODBC style, then you can try repopulating Ldaemon to see if that helps.
I had so much trouble with Ldaemon being slow and unstable that I actually wrote a VB script to rebuld the Ldaemon DB nightly WITHOUT all the Alt-N Schema Extensions. This results in nearly instant lookups from Clients even with over 5,000 users in the DB. In addition, it over-comes another short coming in the Ldaemon implementation, it actually removes accounts that no longer exists. <g> If you need more information, feel free to contact me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _____________________________________________ > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Matuska Jr. > Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 4:08 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [sniffer] OT Mdaemon Ldap (Ldaemon is Slow question) > > I hate to put this to the sniffer list since it is way OT, however people > on this list seem to have good insight.
