The running setup: An ldap server with a socket back-end communicating with server process listening on incoming requests from the socket back-end and replying in an orderly fashing.
The failure: If the server process shuts down, the socket back-end will continue to try to connect and allocating new file descriptors which will never be released. If the server process is restarted everything will work, unless the file descriptor limit have been reached, in case the ldap server have to be restart.
Solution: close the file descripton The following patch solves the problem --- --- servers/slapd/back-sock/opensock.c.orig 2008-02-09 01:46:09.000000000 +0100 +++ servers/slapd/back-sock/opensock.c 2009-02-02 16:09:24.000000000 +0100 @@ -57,6 +57,7 @@ if ( connect( fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sockun, sizeof(sockun) ) < 0 ) { Debug( LDAP_DEBUG_ANY, "socket connect(%s) failed\n", sockpath ? sockpath : "<null>", 0, 0 ); + close( fd ); return( NULL ); }
