AW: Ldap Crashing



Does it make sence 35000 open files? Is it possible that tcpip connections are not closed?

You need to increase the max number of open files for your Linux kernel. 
See section 8.14 of the Linux Kernel-HOWTO.

echo 65535 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
(also put this into your rc.local or something as it will be reset at
boot-time)
