HI! I'm currently trying to upgrade an OpenLDAP package for a openSUSE distribution. The original package links slapd with libwrap which made sense in former times on systems without local host firewall mechanisms. If libwrap does not have a major performance impact I'd keep it that way just for sake of backward compability. But AFAICT if slapd is linked with libwrap the TCP wrapper is always asked whether a connection is allowed or not. One cannot disable it by slapd configuration. So the question is: How big is the performance impact? Ciao, Michael.
