Re: Number of Connection

["Siao Chiun" <wee.siao.chiun@sportalasia.com>]

Hi Kurt,
Thanks for your reply.
So, are you saying that the conn will keep increasing until the next slapd
restart?
Is there a way to 'close' each connection so that the number of concurrent
connection will not reach the limit?
Any idea what will happen if the number of connection reaches the limit?

Thanks in advance.

cheers,
SC
