params_cache_rsa

[Amy Tanner <atanner@ahpcrc.org>]

We recently noticed on 2 of our slapd servers the file
/var/run/slapd/params_cache_rsa file was disappearing.  I see a cron job
that runs daily removing both that file and params_cache_dh.
params_cache_dh seems to get recreated but params_cache_rsa does not.
With this file missing, ldaps connection attempts fail and cause slapd
to hang.

What should be recreating the params_cache_rsa file and when?

What are these files used for?

Note: we are running openldap 2.1.30-2 with libgnutls11 1.0.16-8 (both out
of backports) on debian stable.

Thank you for your help.
