it was an simple bind, i guess '(SIMPLE)' indicates that, but i do not
know how it looks like on a sasl bind. it do not use that.

i thought i had already done this, but i checked it out again and it was
not... i manually set it and look, i can search with filters. thank you
very mutch for that hint. where exactly is this mentioned? i could not
find MESSAGE.NetBSD in pkgsrc/databases/openldap-server.

but, what is the best way to set the stacksize? i tried /etc/login.conf,
but ist does not like "stacksize-cur" (setting resource limit stacksize:
Invalid argument). no luck with sysctl. for now i created
/etc/rc.conf.d/slapd:

>
start_precmd="set_limits"

set_limits()
{
ulimit -s 4096
}

there is still the problem with my ldapi. any other suggestions there?


thanks in advance,
