Re: Connections timing out to OpenLDAP server

[Ben Beuchler <insyte@gmail.com>]

It has just happened again.   This time I immediately attempted a
simple ldapsearch from one of the client boxes, and it did, indeed,
hang for over 30s before finally returning a result.  Shortly
thereafter the problem corrected itself.

A quick look through the logs indicates the clients had been timing
out for about 10 minutes before I noticed it.

Any troubleshooting recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
