Hi All, I've been growing a large headache on this one, i have a number of LDAP servers behind loadbalancing, since 2 days i constantly get the error: Too many open files. Although I'm not a newbie with linux I'm unable to resolve this, I have took the following stept: Changed the /proc/sys/fs/file-max to 65535 Added the following configuration to /etc/security/limits.conf: ldap soft nofile 65535 ldap hard nofile 65535 ldap - nofile 65535 # End of file If I su to the ldap user where the process is running under: [root at ldap5 ~]# su -m ldap bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied bash-3.2$ ulimit -H -n 65535 bash-3.2$ ulimit -S -n 65535 And still I get the error: Too many open files when open files are >1024. I'm bazzled. If anyone can provide me with some tips, please. Cheers, Sebastiaan. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
