If they suspect that it's triggering a memory leak, they can set up a test instance, and run "ldapsearch" in a loop. Once with requests for "cn", and again without (after restarting). If a memory leak were that easily triggered, there's no reason to "fear" that the queries are causing problems; they can be certain with very little work. It's unlikely that queries for non-existent attributes would cause a memory leak. Many clients ask for attributes that usually don't exist. It's normal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
