the ipa-config option does not allow you to change more than one default option at a time ...

# ipa config-mod --searchtimelimit=2 searchrecordslimit=100 --maxusername=32
ipa: ERROR: command 'config_mod' takes no arguments

# ipa config-mod --searchtimelimit=2 searchrecordslimit=100
ipa: ERROR: command 'config_mod' takes no arguments

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2011-01-18 16:06:40 UTC 
you're missing the dashes for searchrecordslimit=100, can you re-test?
Comment 3 Jenny Severance 2011-01-18 16:24:11 UTC 
ooppss that was it ... however the error message is incorrect ... is should state invalid paramater option instead of takes no arguments

ipa config-mod --searchtimelimit=2 searchrecordslimit=100
ipa: ERROR: command 'config_mod' takes no arguments
Comment 4 Rob Crittenden 2011-01-18 16:51:58 UTC 
In *nix things being with a dash are options. Things without dashes are arguments even if they have an embedded = sign.

For example: 

$ ls --color=always
[ provides a colored list in cwd ]

versus

$ ls color=always
ls: cannot access color=always: No such file or directory
