Re: ldapsearch limit of 500 returned entries

["Fox" <lds0062@cdc.net>]

The server has the last word on what the sizelimit is.  The client can only
specifiy an equal or smaller size limit than the server.  So you _must_ set
your:

 SIZELIMIT    0

in ldap.conf or to something larger than 500, before you can force the
client to show you more than 500.

You must restart your openldap server after changing SIZELIMIT in ldap.conf.
You can probably use:

service ldap restart

or find the PID and kill -HUP it.
