I'm running the LDAP port here. When I installed it I didn't even know libc_r existed, and I've never built it. The UMich LDAP appears to have a fall-back for systems lacking threads support. Unfortunately it is buggy in this case, it kept eating 100% of the CPU. I've managed to hack the source to fix this, however. Of course, I'm sure LDAP performs better with pthreads than without. =================================================================== Lachlan O'Dea <mailto:lodea@angmar.mel.cybec.com.au> FreeBSD rocks! <http://www.freebsd.org/>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
