Yossef, You need to increase the number of file descriptors available to your system. Do a ulimit -a and see how many files you are allowed to open and then do a ulimit -n <(2* files)+1)> (Replace everything including the <>'s with a number. ex: ulimit -n 2048) Thanks, Steven Fines Software Architect, Cotelligent, Inc. www.cotelligent.com -----Original Message----- From: Yossef Korang To: Quanah Gibson-Mount; openldap-software@OpenLDAP.org Sent: 6/25/03 2:53 PM Subject: Re: LDAP Hangs on request Quanah Gibson-Mount wrote:--On Wednesday, June 25, 2003 1:10 PM -0400 Yossef Korang <yossef@yossefk.com> wrote:I'm not sure what the problem is, other than it simply hanging on a client machine.

Any help or point to a previous answered questiondealingwith this(that I have not yet found in the archives) would be appreciated.I suggest turning up the debug levels on slapd, and see what processing is happening when you make the finger request. I'd guess the ACL's are giving the permissions you want, and/or the client is doing a query that is other than what you expect. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Senior Systems Administrator ITSS/TSS/Computing Systems Stanford University GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.htmlI've set debug to show all, and I get a whole lot of this showing on the screen(this is the end of it): daemon: activity on: daemon: select: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL daemon: activity on 1 descriptors daemon: new connection on 1022 conn=2807 fd=1022 ACCEPT from IP=129.252.32.43:3899 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) daemon: added 1022r daemon: activity on: daemon: select: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL daemon: activity on 1 descriptors daemon: new connection on 1023 conn=2808 fd=1023 ACCEPT from IP=129.252.32.43:3900 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) daemon: added 1023r daemon: activity on: daemon: select: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=NULL daemon: activity on 1 descriptors daemon: accept(8) failed errno=24 (Too many open files) At this point it stops printing anything(Until I hit cntr+c on the finger, and it closes all those). From this I am still not sure why it is hanging. Thanks for your help, and I'd appreciate any further help I may receive
