Greetings, We have been attempting to set up a centos ldap server and then tried to log in with a user account specified in our ldap environment on a centos workstation. As soon as we attempt any kind of login from the centos workstation, be it via gdm or su ldap_user, the slapd process on the ldap server goes to 100% cpu. Is this normal behaviour?

My first thought would be to wonder if you had some circular loops in your configuration. You have tried doing lookups of users using the ldap tool, right? mark
