The only reason to limit this in the first place was to prevent a potential stack overrun, which could occur at a depth of over 38000. For all practical purposes, it doesn't matter what number you choose as long as it's smaller than 38000. Anyway, you'll get an ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED error if a client hits the limit, so there's no point worrying about it until then. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
