I'm running OpenLDAP 2.3.30-5 on Debian 4. I checked the syslog and I found the following errors: slapd: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files slapd: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files

Fix the number of file handles available.

Or ensure that clients aren't abusing connections, and eating up the available file descriptors. For example, one thing to do is to ensure that clients run nscd (so each client creates only one connection to the server).
