OpenLDAP 1.1.4 and Netscape Address Book

[Chris Zimmerman <czimmer@voicecommander.com>]

Has anyone had a problem with the two items I have mentioned in the
subject?  To be more specific, we are running openldap only for a
company-wide address book.  The clients are running Netscape 4.5, and
everything works properly-most of the time.  Occasionally, we get
timeouts (actually, they are just long pauses) before the Address Book
in Netscape will allow any queries.  Netscape shows in the window
'Connecting to [name of list]', then the long pause (sometimes as long
as 2-3 minutes), then the queries work fine.  This is not isolated to
one client, as all clients exhibit the same behavior when this
phenomenon occurs.  There are only 90 entries on the LDAP database, and
only 10-15 max number of clients connect concurrently.  I had thought I
was overloading the slapd server by configuring the Netscape mail
clients to 'Check names against this server', but again, I have had no
problems 95% of the time.  Unfortunately, everyone only remembers the 5%
problem times....

The box that is running slapd is also running sendmail, qpopper, and
DNS.  Running netstat during one of these "outages" shows only a few
concurrent connections-nothing extraordinary.

Any help would be appreciated....
