In the IDM console GUI for the Directory server, I change the "Idle Timeout" on the Performance tab under the Configutation tab. After typing that sentence I wish I had found it somewhere in a command line... -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Chavez, James R.

Can I ask what parameters you set to accomplish this? And also what is your "net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time" set to? Thanks again James We had the same problem. We set the idle timeout, and it was fixed. By default it doesn't timeout connections. We are only doing around 4K transactions a minute, but the idle connections would constantly grow to 1024. Once putting in the timeout we maintain only about 30 idle at a time. We set our limit to 60 seconds. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Chavez, James R.

If storing file on domain/networks using FDS for authentication, the frequently authentication process should cause the "too many fds open". -- We are using all Linux clients. I would not think it would be virus related. This implementation is actually replacing Windows. This box is the authentication source for all the Linux clients. What effect if any does replication have on fds or file descriptors..
