Now when I run "./ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 'objectclass=*'" give me nothing and the CUP keeping very high. However, if I use ldbmtest, I can find all my database. What I did wrong or I need to do something else? On my server, I turn some program off in inetd.conf such as finger.  Is it alright?

Is objectclass indexed for wildcards?  If not, you're essentially
doing a linear search of the database, hunting for objectclass records.

Indexing is an underrated, and important, ldap black art.  Making 
a bad guess about user lookup habits can lead to abysmal lookup
performance.  Even then weird hashing problams can bite you in the
butt.
