Package: libldap-2.4-2 Version: 2.4.11-1 Severity: normal
The ldap.conf(5) manual page doesn't specify the units in the quantities specified by configuration options as SIZELIMIT. For example, the text says: SIZELIMIT <integer> Specifies a size limit to use when performing searches. The number should be a non-negative integer. SIZELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search size. Note how the text says nothing about _how_ the integer specifies a limit. (It doesn't say whether the integer is a number of bytes, megabytes, entries, attributes, or even something else.) The TIMELIMIT documentation is similar: TIMELIMIT <integer> Specifies a time limit to use when performing searches. The number should be a non-negative integer. TIMELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search time to be used. VERSION {2|3} Specifies what version of the LDAP protocol should be used. (It doesn't specify whether the integer is the number of seconds--or maybe milliseconds or something.) In contrast, for a precedent to follow, notice how the documentation of the TIMEOUT configuration option _does_ give the units (seconds): TIMEOUT <integer> Specifies a timeout (in seconds) after which calls to synchronous LDAP APIs will abort if no response is received. Also used for any ldap_result(3) calls where a NULL timeout parameter is supplied. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libldap-2.4-2 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgnutls26 2.4.2-6+lenny1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-23 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra libldap-2.4-2 recommends no packages. libldap-2.4-2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
