I've seen that before, and think I had it set up once. I assume this will keep things so my clients can still run with authentication, but won't keep LDAP from crashing. Or is there an advantage to using the cache where it won't open so many files? > > That was until I ran cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max and it returned 1615850.

There is usually 45 clients in use and 108 concurrently booted from this server. Also the /home is shared to the mail server which holds a few hundred users. Over a million seems like a lot, but I don't really know how to accurately check. This seems to build over a few weeks time. So maybe the problem is that things aren't getting closed like they should?
