Dan,

Thanks for the reply....  in the slapd.conf man page it showes:

index {<attrlist>|default} [pres,eq,approx,sub,<special>]

but doesn't say a word about what pres, eq, approx mean.  There is a 
blurb on sub, but it doesn't go into enough detail to really explain it. 
   Do you know where there might be more documentation.  Also, I set 
the cache sizes to:

cachesize   5000000
dbcachesize 50000000

which helped quite a bit, but how do I calculate the optimal settings?

Thanks,

schu
