Fedora directory users - Dec 2007 - nsslapd-idletimeout does not seem to work

Hi

Im hoping this question has not been asked before but I cant find the 
mailing list archives to confirm .. do they exist?

Anyway .. I am trying to close down idle client connections that have 
been idle for 30 minutes a quick check of the directory server admin 
guide and the code confirms that a setting for nsslapd-idletimeout: 1800 
should do the trick under cn=config.  Not so it seems!

I am expecting to see the socket closed down after 30 minutes of 
inactivity .. I can confirm that this is not taking place with a simple 
tcp dump running on the directory server machine.

Have I misunderstood what this option does?

Many thanks

Anthony

Hello Anthony.  The connection table is walked and idle are connections 
dropped when poll or select return non-0; you need to have a new 
incoming connection or activity on one of the established connections 
for the idle ones to get dropped.
Not sure where a searchable archive of this list is located...
