not enough file descriptors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I found that the user limits were by default 1024 and I could not set the nsslapd-maxdescriptors higher than that, so I upped the default limits and changed nsslapd-maxdescriptors to 2048.  We'll see how that works out.  Thanks Richard and George!
