[Fedora-directory-users] fedora-ds-1.0.3 problem: too many fds open

[Sergey Ivanov]

Hi,
I have a new issue with fedora-ds today.
The server is running 64-bit Redhat with kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp. It
is used for network authentication and for another purposes, and today
in the morning authentication was broken. I have restarted
slapd-instance locally on the server, and everything works since that
fine. In the logs: there was not records in access log from 08:04 till
after restart. In the error log everything these lines repeated again
and again, before them previous relates to an event 6 days before this:

# sysctl -a |grep fs\.file
fs.file-max = 101314
fs.file-nr = 4695       0       101314
and no manually inserted adjustment for ulimit for fedora-ds.
Nothing interesting I can find in /var/log/messages.
Can anybody help to understand what is happened and prevent this in future?
