[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#378832: limits directive is not working in slapd.conf

[Alexander Samad]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.24-1
Severity: important

Hi

I have tried using 

limits users size=1000

but when I try to ldapsearch I get an error 4 size limit.

when I change it to 

sizelimit 1000

and retry the ldapsearch it works.  I don't want to open up the limits
to every on

Thank
Alex
