ah! only 1024.  What is considered a reasonable value?  Is it setting this or picking it up from the defaults such as ulimits?
The server sets this itself.  So you have to set the value yourself.

See http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/pdf/ds71cli.pdf - search for nsslapd-conntablesize and nsslapd-maxdescriptors
I assume I need to do this on all of the multi-masters and consumers to be the same, or do I?  Does it propagate?  I'm not sharing the config tree among different servers.

What is the value of the "nsslapd-maxdescriptors" attribute on cn=config?

I have a problem with running out of file descriptors.  I get this repeating message periodically in the /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-<servername>/logs/errors file:
[02/Mar/2007:13:25:45 -0500] - Not listening for new connections - too many fds open
[02/Mar/2007:13:25:46 -0500] - Listening for new connections again
[02/Mar/2007:13:25:47 -0500] - Not listening for new connections - too many fds open
[02/Mar/2007:13:25:47 -0500] - Listening for new connections again
...

When this happens, the users cannot log in for long periods and get angry.  Imagine that.  I do have this in a multi-master configuration with a second master, which is different hardware and does not show this error.

I read the tuning page http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Performance_Tuning#Linux, which recommends updating the filedescriptors limit like so:
echo "64000" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max

However mine is already well above that:
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
128456

How much higher should I be setting it?  I am running RHEL 4 update 4, single Pentium III 1.4GHz processor, 1280MB of memory.

I don't have any settinsg in sysctl.conf or /etc/security/limites for soft/hard limits, how do I tell what the defaults on soft/hard limits are?
