Package: libsasl2-2 Version: 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? I am running an openldap with sasl on debian wheezy. Current package versions are: ii libsasl2-2:amd64 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 amd64 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstraction library ii libsasl2-modules:amd64 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 amd64 Cyrus SASL - pluggable authentication modules ii libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit:amd64 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 amd64 Cyrus SASL - pluggable authentication modules (GSSAPI) ii sasl2-bin 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 amd64 Cyrus SASL - administration programs for SASL users database ii slapd 2.4.31-1+nmu2 amd64 OpenLDAP server (slapd) slapd keeps running into "too many open files" errors every now and then since, apparently, some fds are not closed properly. I see a lot of lines like slapd 11014 11072 openldap 491u REG 9,1 4779 16925389 /var/tmp/ldap_109 (deleted) in lsof|grep ldap output (notice the "deleted", which I believe indicates what I said above). I have more than 3000 of these after one hour of running slapd with around 200 connected clients. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Increasing ulimit -n obviously buys some time, but does not really help. Talking on #openldap in freenode IRC, I was suggested looking into this patch, which apparently helped solve this problem for redhat: https://github.com/PhantomX/slackbuilds/blob/master/cyrus-sasl/patches/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-release-server_creds.patch -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libsasl2-2 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libdb5.1 5.1.29-5 ii multiarch-support 2.13-38 Versions of packages libsasl2-2 recommends: ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 libsasl2-2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
