Hello

I don't find this in the documentation: is it possible to enforce a byte
limit on an attribute or an object?

jpegPhoto seems to be able to absorb huge amount of data. I had a bad
experience with users uploading huge pictures, causing LDAP queries in
some applications to timeout before getting a result, and later causing
a simultaneous crash of all LDAP replicas because of resource shortage.

I am looking for a way to keep this mess from hapening again.
