Re: Openldap reliability

[charlie derr <cderr@simons-rock.edu>]

Have you indexed the directory?  Whatever attibutes your mail server is using to search should be indexed.  Before I added indexes for our system it was putting a huge load on the ldap server (and 
sometimes timing out).  After adding indexes, it has run flawlessly for 8 months now.  We are running on debian-woody (openldap-2.0.23) and we're using postfix/courier, not exim. (about 1100 entries 
in the directory)

	good luck,
