package: libnss-ldapd
version: 0.6.7.1
severity: normal
I have several server that get their user base from a ldap directory.
Particularly on one of them, I regularly get error messages in the
syslog saying "error writing to client". Usually, there are short
burst of messages (several messages send within the same seconds)
about every 10 minutes. I can't discover anything that happens at the
same time and might trigger these messages.
I searched the bug tracking system and mailing lists and discovered
some older issues in connection with very large groups, but this
does not seem to be the problem in my case. Actually, as far as I can
tell everything works fine otherwise. When I restart nslcd, the messages
will go away for some hours or even days.
What is the significance of these messages? Are they a sign of some
serious problem (in this case a more specific message telling what is
going wrong would be great) or are they just debugging messages that
can be safely ignored (in which case I'd suggest a lower priority;
a more specific message still would be great).
Should I be worried?
Regards,
Peter

I am closing this bugreport because I don't think there is anything
nss-pam-ldapd should fix. Please reopen this bug if you feel something
remains to be addressed.
