Hi, I have OpenLDAP 2.3.27, Redhat 5 package, and it's running out of file descriptors suddendly. It's works fine a few days, but runs out of FDs and the the solution is restart.
I think It's a bug, because see the following weird thing with lsof:
slapd 19157 ldap 303u sock 0,5 193051928 can't identify protocol
The file descriptors from 159 up to 4094 are like that. Under normal operations I don't see FDs like these, only have 100 FDs aprox in the rush hour.
I don't have any interesting in the log and this is not a file descriptor limit problem.
regards, diegows

IIRC, this was fixed in OL 2.3.32 or thereabouts. Moral of the story -- Keep up to date, and don't use the packages shipped by RedHat. RedHat's packages are meant for providing the ldap client libraries, not for running OpenLDAP as a server. If you want to run OpenLDAP as a server, use the pre-compiled packages provided by Symas (http://www.symas.com) or Buchan Milne (http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/).
