I've setup an LDAP server with a slave server on Centos 5.3 X86_64, replication works, most of the time client logins work fine but I'm starting to get a error I can't seem to eliminate, it's starting to cause login failures for users and I think it's causing other application failures when they try to auth against ldap.
on the client side /var/log/messages shows

on the server side I see Oct 22 08:53:23 ldap1slapd[23963]: warning: cannot open /etc/ hosts.allow: Too many open files Oct 22 08:53:23 ldap1slapd[23963]: warning: cannot open /etc/
You probably are running into the default limit for open files. Look at /etc/security/limits.conf and add a line reading
* - nofile 64000
Then restart the ldap server via the init script.
