performance problems

[Matthew Schumacher <matt.s@aptalaska.net>]

Hello all,

I would like to use openldap/pam_ldap to authenticate 10000 or so users, 
but when building the solution in the lab I am getting horrible 
performance.  It is taking 4-5 secs to find a user in the directory and 
authenticate.

Here is my question.  What indexes and or other performance 
configuration options can I use to fix this?

Is having good performance with 10000 accounts unreasonable?

thanks,

sch
