Re: slapd stops authenticating

[Bill Dossett <billd emtex com>]

Little bit more on this....  I've got slapd logging
to it's own log file with debug level or 1.

sometime this morning I got this in the logs... looks pretty
weird.. for a couple of hours, it slowly shut down all its fd...
then restarted itself... dunno, is that typical?  I spose
I could go ask around the openldap group, but this is pretty
old software and they usually aren't very interested in answsering
questions about redhat rpm'd versions of openldap...  then again,
maybe I should move on to new version of ldap...  any ideas?
