After a while I start again to work on 389 ds. 389ds last released from epel, is installed on a rhel 6.5, that host also other services (bind, dhcpd, radius.....). Such server is configured with some virtual nic. I noticed starting 389ds the following error: intranet5...[14/Feb/2014:08:30:20 +0100] createprlistensockets - PR_Bind() on All Interfaces port 636 failed: Netscape Portable Runtime error -5982 (Local Network address is in use.) I've tried to insert in dse.ldif directives like nsslapd-listenhost: 192.168.60.23 nsslapd-securelistenhost: 192.168.60.23 but it comes a more "IP specific" error : intranet5...[14/Feb/2014:10:01:34 +0100] createprlistensockets - PR_Bind() on 192.168.60.23 port 636 failed: Netscape Portable Runtime error -5982 (Local Network address is in use.) finally I noticed: [root@intranet5 dirsrv]# netstat -anp | grep 636 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:636 0.0.0.0:* 1342/portreserve such service clearly conflict with 389ds ldaps It seems I'm facing bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848414 since I really have tested also openldap [root@intranet5 dirsrv]# more /etc/portreserve/slapd ldaps from portreserve man I read For each service configuration file, a socket is created and bound to the appropriate port. A service wishing to bind to its port must first run portrelease, which instructs portreserve to release the port associated with the service. It seems so that 389ds be not aware of portreserve . Shoud I simply remove /etc/portreserve/slapd and restart portreserve ?
