We use saslauthd (v2.1.26) to authenticate from LDAP to Kerberos.=C2=A0 I w=
ould like to turn on caching on the LDAP servers that are using for wireles=
s authentications.=C2=A0 Even though I will probably keep the expiration ti=
me fairly low (maybe 1-4 hours) there's going to be quite a few people auth=
enticating (20,000-25,000 per day).=C2=A0 I haven't been able to find anyth=
ing to help with monitoring or setting the hash table size to deal with thi=
s kind of traffic.=C2=A0 Does anyone have any suggestions?=C2=A0 Would the =
default setting be able to handle this kind of traffic?

thanks,
