But then that's the main application of LDAP servers. Are there applications that require high LDAP write performance? I found the other benchmark paper here: http://highlandsun.com/hyc/SambaXP.pdf It includes figures for FDS. A summary can be found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/ldap@xxxxxxxxx/msg01151.html According to that paper, OpenLDAP pretty much blows away everyone else in performance and scalability. Nothing else is even close. Of course it is a benchmark. I'm sure someone will find some flaws :-) -- Norman Gaywood, Systems Administrator School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia norm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://turing.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
