Some people swear that OpenLDAP serves their one million query per day needs and has stayed running for more than a year. I don't believe it. It's a very particular software. The versions can have all sorts of strange behaviour, for example 2.2.15 might not "work at all", while 2.2.16 could be "rock solid". You never know what to expect with a new version of OpenLDAP. However, the client tools are very good. Anyhow, you can run OpenLDAP under DJB's daemontools quite easily. If the daemon dies, it will be automatically restarted within 5 seconds (usually within 1 second). That is, unless you have a configuration problem and the server will just start, die, restart, die, etc... Here's my daemontools "run" script for slapd. Pretty simple, eh? #!/bin/sh /usr/local/libexec/slapd -f /etc/slapd.conf I've also been waiting for improved NSS support in FreeBSD for a long time now... BR, -- Mike Jackson
