Re: ldapsearch limit of 500 returned entries

[charlie derr <cderr@simons-rock.edu>]

Sending this back towards the list (hope you don't mind, Fox), because i
did 
track down another clue -- using the slapcat command (instead of
ldapsearch)
as root did return the full number of entries ( > 500 )in the directory
without 
an error.  Perhaps this is what the man page means -- i would still like
to
have this functionality for ldapsearch as well.  I guess it's time to
delve
into the source and see if i can find a place to set it and try
recompiling.

One other point of information -- before i added the 

SIZELIMIT	0 

to the three ldap.conf files (as i mentioned in the other message), none
of these
files previously had that variable set (it was commented out).  Just to
be totally
thorough (I was pretty certain it wouldn't work, but...) I set

SIZELIMIT	1000

just now and restarted, but i still get only 500 entries returned and
the same
error.
