Syslog slow down slapd, if you 'forgot' the "-" just before /dev/tty??. With "-" in front of the outputfile, the syslog writes a asynchron. ---- No.: local4.* -/var/log/ldap.log Besides, I tried to set 'loglevel 0' in slapd.conf. Every operation I try, all types of query are fast. Only when it comes to Samba things slow down. Its shure not samba to blame but I have no Ideas any more what I could change. Anyway got anybody ldapv3 to work with samba2.2.x? Thanks, Malte Mueller
