[389-users] Re: Max number of users in a group?

[William Brown]

Some work was done a few years back by a user who was storing a similar scale of users in
their directory. They noticed some delays in replication but those issues were resolved.
So hopefully it "just works".

If you were going to have any issues with this, it would be:

* network response sizes (since the groups are large it will block the connection)
* replication delays (to sort/manage the content)
* update/write delays

So I'd test this with a development environment if I were you, but as mentioned, since
there are already users doing this, hopefully there are no hidden traps for you :)
