Maybe you have set a high loglevel in slapd.conf, or you are using the slapd '-d' argument. Loglevel is what gets logged to syslog. Default logevel is 'stats' (256), which gives a few lines per LDAP request. Some years ago our site had to set loglevel=0 because it could not handle all the syslogging, but a hardware upgrade fixed that. Default syslog user.level=local4.debug, see man slapd. > The hosts have plenty of free RAM and are not using any swap.

(if not, why not make that an option?) Yes, monitor is memory-only. -- Hallvard
