Hello openldap users!
I've got Openldap 2.4.23 that used as authentication and authorization server for about 40-50 servers.
OS - FreeBSD 8.1.
It's not heavy loaded.
openldap# top -SP

But on my servers sometimes I see in logs something like
on FTP-server:
Mar 25 21:55:32 someftp ftpd: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable
Authentication works fine, no problems. But want to find out what can be wrong.
To understand this problem I installed ldap-stats utility and made it run:
/var/log/debug.log - it's half day openldap server usage log.
openldap# ldap-stats -c 1000 /var/log/debug.log

...............
and MANY others that has 1 use in this stats.
I think this many queries from mail relay server.
* user1 and etc - just hidden real users.
What can I do to tune nss? Can you point me in a right direction? Do not know what to look at.
If you need any additional information, logs and etc - I'll provide it.
Thanks in advance!
