How are you detecting when it starts? On my dev system, the first symptom is
massive memory use by the slapd process, followed by an alert that the
accesslog db is over 80% full. Then slapd processes start getting killed off
by the OOM mechanism and my dev environment basically implodes. If it
happened in production, odds are I wouldn't catch it in time to keep things
from going south. How do you trim out the extremely large number of
duplicate entries in the accesslog when you are cleaning up after an
occurrence in one of your production environments?

Hopefully the underlying issue will be sorted out soon. I'm just going to
tell our security guys they are not going to get their account lockouts as
long as the password policy module puts my dev environment into conniptions
:).

Off-topic, is there a secret handshake for the developer list or something
;)? The couple of messages I posted after I subscribed still haven't shown
up, and a couple of inquiries I made on this list about the moderation on
that list were never responded to <sigh>...

Thanks.
