Hi to all, I don't know if this has been posted earlier as I was not able to find it in the list.

The issue is I have openldap working with PAM and NSS to do the authentication stuff for courier services. But at times users are unable to log into their accounts, restarting NSCD and SLAPD solves the problem but that too for a short time.

These are some details and errors which I have.

##libnss-ldap.conf

host 127.0.0.1 base dc=com ldap_version 3 binddn uid=example,dc=com bindpw secret bind_policy soft

##nsswitch.conf

passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap shadow: compat ldap

hosts: files dns networks: files

protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files

netgroup: nis

And the errors which I get are -->

user.info: Sep 18 11:24:35 nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server... user.err: Sep 18 11:24:35 nscd: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as uid=example,dc=com - Can't contact LDAP server

And some time I get -->

local4.debug: Sep 23 11:21:40 slapd[8880]: conn=224 fd=20 closed (connection lost)

or

local4.debug: Sep 23 11:15:21 slapd[8880]: connection_read(20): no connection!

Please respond to me.

Regards.
