ldapsearch time limit
We have an application that uses Active directory to authenticate the users. the admins of the app. were complaining because the windows domain controller they are going against is not very stable. I wrote a shell script using ldapsearch to look up a user against the domain controller their app uses, and if it can't complete the lookup it pages them that LDAP may be down. here is the command i am using:
ldapsearch -h 10.168.170.100 -b "dc=nslijhs,dc=net" -D svc-bdvr -w 5703ibm '(Cn=svc-psft)'

this works fine, my question is what is the default time limit it waits for the search to complete before coming back it can't do the lookup. I am not using the -l switch which is supposed to specify how long it waits. when I searched the web for ldapsearch it shows that switch and explains it, but never says if it is not part of the command how long it actually waits.

NAME

       ad - Active Directory as a naming repository

DESCRIPTION

       Solaris clients can obtain naming information from Active Directory (AD) servers.

       The  Solaris  system  must first join an AD domain and then add the ad keyword to the appropriate entries in the nsswitch.conf(4) file. The
       Solaris system joins the AD domain by using the	kclient(1M) utility. The AD name service only supports the naming databases for passwd and
       group.

       Windows	users  are not able to log in. The user_attr(4) database has no entries for Windows users, and the passwd(1) command does not sup-
       port the synchronization of user passwords with AD.

       The Solaris AD client uses auto-discovery techniques to find AD directory servers, such as domain controllers and global  catalog  servers.
       The  client  also  uses	the  LDAP  v3 protocol to access naming information from AD servers. The AD server schema requires no modification
       because the AD client works with native AD schema. The Solaris AD client uses the idmap(1M) service to map between Windows security identi-
       fiers (SIDs) and Solaris user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs). User names and group names are taken from the sAMAccountName
       attribute of the AD user and group objects and then tagged with the domain where the objects reside. The domain name is separated from  the
       user name or group name by the @ character.

       The  client  uses  the  SASL/GSSAPI/KRB5  security  model. The kclient utility is used to join the client to AD. During the join operation,
       kclient configures Kerberos v5 on the client. See kclient(1M).

FILES

       /etc/nsswitch.conf      Configuration file for the name-service switch.

       /etc/nsswitch.ad        Sample configuration file for the name-service switch configured with ad, dns and files.

       /usr/lib/nss_ad.so.1    Name service switch module for AD.
