I've just set up a couple of directory servers in multi-master mode.
I've installed fedora-ds-1.0.2-1.RHEL4.x86_64 on RHEL AS 4.
Occasionally, some of our searches have been failing a timeout error
(err=3) despite not taking any time at all (etime=0).  It's not
consistent either; repeat the exact same search again and it succeeds.
The dn we are binding to has an "nstimelimit" attribute set to "-1",
so that shouldn't be an issue.

I tried to set the "nsslapd-timelimit" to "-1" in the dse.ldif file (as
documented in the Configuration, Command and File Reference manual) and
got the following error when I tried to start up the server:

dse - The entry cn=config in file /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-connie/config/dse.ldif is invalid, error code 1 (Operations error) - nsslapd-timelimit: invalid value "-1", time limit must range from 0 to -1

Trying to set it from the java console reports the exact same error.
There doesn't seem to be a way to set unlimited timelimits.

Has anyone else noticed either of these 2 issues?  Timelimit errors with
0 elapsed time and inability to set an unlimited timelimit for the
entire server?
