Re: Slapd ? Is This Normal

[Brian Clark]

I see the same thing on my system. I believe that there is a setting in 
slapd.conf that you can use to set the number of  slapd processes 
spawned. I believe that the default is a maximum of 32. I have been 
looking  at this myself and trying to find a better way to increase the 
performance of my LDAP/Qmail-LDAP installation.

I'm running OpenLDAP 2.0.27

I know there is no "normal" but.. is it suppost to spawn this many
times?   Or is there a setting I should be setting some place?
I noticed memory was a little low on the server this morning and a top

That's quiet a large percentage of my memory being consumed by slapd!
Infact that's 67%  Is that normal??
The mail server is hit semi hard... but still.
It has a gig of ram in it.
