Re: File Descriptors

["Alan Sparks" <asparks@doublesparks.net>]

The number of file descriptors used is heavily dependent on the number of
concurrent connections by clients to the server.  Things tend to get ugly
if slapd runs out.

I run on Solaris, which defaulted to a woefully inadequate number.  I
upped my limit to 1024, which runs well in my admittedly smallish
environment of a couple hundred open connections.
