Hi, You can try to change the following parameters to reduce the timeouts of the connections : * system parameters (reduce keepalive time to 700 seconds): echo "net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 700" >> /etc/sysctl.conf sysctl -p * 389 parameters in cn=config (change the maximum time limit per search operation to 120 sec & set idle connection timeout to 600 sec): nsslapd-timelimit: 120 nsslapd-idletimeout: 600 The file descriptor number used by a connecton can be seen in access log (fd=139) : [28/Aug/2010:14:35:08 +0200] conn=58377 fd=139 slot=139 SSL connection from x.x.x.x to x.x.x.x You may also use /logconv.pl utility to see the long requests, number of parallel/oncurrent connections and file descriptor usage ('Highest FD taken') Total Connections: 2855 Peak Concurrent Connections: 4 Total Operations: 157116 Total Results: 157139 Overall Performance: 100.0% ...
