ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (Solaris 2.6)
Hi, I'm having a problem with one of the servers, an Sun E450 Solaris 2.6 box, that after some time it will no longer be able to send out LDAP requests to the LDAP server. The response to every ldap query is: ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server Checking the netstat output I see a lot (over 300) of TIME_WAIT state request to the ldap server: r0104su03.34321 mailhost.389 8760 0 8760 0 TIME_WAIT We have running Samba version 1.9.18p10 with LDAP support 'hacked-in', so that's the one who makes most of the requests. This particular server has a pretty big audience to serve, yet it should be able to handle them. (< 200) So far the only most effective, yet unwanted, remedy is a reboot. When I restart Samba it will still not let me do LDAP requests. Even though I see the amount of requests in the netstat output drop after some time. Is there another way of resetting these ports/requests or the network of this box (we manage it remote, so we don't want to shut ourselves out). Are there maybe some (kernel) tunables that can be set to raise a threshold? The LDAP server itself still runs fine. Also other E450's, there are about 20 equally set up, still function fine. Help!
