RE: slapadd/ldapadd command?
sorry for the mistake.
I saw the slapd configuration file which said slapd.conf v 1.8.8.7 so i
just assumed the ldap version.
It is actually openldap-2.0.23.
Can you please clarify why slapadd command takes a fraction of a second
while for same number of entries, ldapadd takes about few minutes.
thanx
