Limit Net::LDAP results

Is there a way to limit the number of records that doing a LDAP search will return? I would like to limit to a specific number, say 10. This is to prevent someone from doing a wild card search and returning thousands of records.

I can truncate the array after they are returned, but I would rather prevent it in the first case.

Thanks in advance, Don Mc

I'll take that as a feature request.

I'll second that feature request. I'm working on making ActiveLDAP act more like ActiveRecord, and that's one feature I'd love to see :).
