Hi all. I'm having a problem I thought I had resolved.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# grep files /var/log/messages Jan 8 10:20:16 alpha slapd[21093]: warning: cannot open /etc/ hosts.allow: Too many open files Jan 8 10:20:18 alpha slapd[21093]: warning: cannot open /etc/ hosts.allow: Too many open files Jan 8 10:25:28 alpha slapd[21093]: warning: cannot open /etc/ hosts.allow: Too many open files ... When this happens LDAP stops responding and everything falls to pieces. LTSP logins fail, email fails and ltsp sessions grind to a halt. I had been running a file server as the primary LDAP server with a couple of secondary slave servers. The file server started having the same issues so I added a couple more slaves and reordered the host entry in my ldap.conf file of the client server to try to balance the load. For the first time, one of the new slaves started reporting the same issue. When LDAP on the slave stopped responding I assumed pam (reading /etc/ldap.conf) would move to the next slave. Its not. Has anyone else run into this problem? I know how to increase the number of allowed file handles. What is the best way to determine what has all the files opened? This server runs LDAP, bind and DHCP. It is mirrored by another server with an identical configuration. Both are Redhat ES 4.
