All, I have two 389-ds servers with MMR via TLS and client hosts authenticating via TLS. I see this error message in all client machines in /var/log/messages. It seems nscd is failing at random intervals. Has anyone seen this before? Dec 29 10:35:35 dmc189 nscd: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Dec 29 11:00:21 dmc189 nscd: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Dec 29 11:12:15 dmc189 nscd: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Steps Taken: 1. start/stop/restart nscd. 2. ldapsearch works fine 3. Turned ON nscd.log (no useful info found) 4. URI in ldap.conf and CN on server-cer is same. Possible causes: In /etc/ldap.conf : nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus,radvd,tomcat,radiusd,news,mailman . Is this config correct? /etc/nscd.conf looks like this logfile /var/log/nscd.log # threads 6 # max-threads 128 server-user nscd # stat-user nocpulse debug-level 10 # reload-count 5 paranoia no # restart-interval 3600 enable-cache passwd yes positive-time-to-live passwd 600 negative-time-to-live passwd 20 suggested-size passwd 211 check-files passwd yes persistent passwd yes shared passwd yes max-db-size passwd 33554432 auto-propagate passwd yes enable-cache group yes positive-time-to-live group 3600 negative-time-to-live group 60 suggested-size group 211 check-files group yes persistent group yes shared group yes max-db-size group 33554432 auto-propagate group yes enable-cache hosts yes positive-time-to-live hosts 3600 negative-time-to-live hosts 20 suggested-size hosts 211 check-files hosts yes persistent hosts yes shared hosts yes max-db-size hosts 33554432 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
