Hello,
don't want to discourage you, but my slapd (2.4.11 on Debian Lenny)
still has problems with more than 1024 files.
I have
-- ulimit -n 4096 in /etc/default/slapd
-- checked the output of /proc/`pidof slapd`/limits
-- downloaded the source package from Debian (version 2.4.11),
did a grep for FD_SETSIZE and found that it is set to 4096
-- built a new package from these sources with configure options:
--disable-tcpwrapper
In a loop from a python script, I then connect, bind, search the ldap
server and keep all the connections open, like so:
...
def ldap_connection_func():
global n
l = ldap.initialize("ldaps://ldap...")
l.simple_bind_s(username, password)
l.search_s('dc=haiti,...', ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, 'objectclass=*')
n.append(l)
for x in range(0,1100):
ldap_connection_func()
...
I see the number of open files of the slapd process rise to about 1080,
then all connections opened from the script are closed while slapd keeps
running.
We now will try to set the idletimeout parameter to some sensible value
>0. Hopefully, this will not lead to trouble with syncrepl.
