777 which is not default on many systems.
Sorry my mistake, it has to be world writeable, but the mod is
identical 777.
Well, the odd thing about this is, it "was" working, and then, at one
point, stopped working. =) I never touched the permissions, but you are
correct, it's not set world writable. I wonder why it worked before?
(it's almost like it had a 'slow leak' somewhere, because it took about a
day before the ldapi connection stopped behaving)
As it turns out, ldap://localhost/ is also failing. It never happens
immediately, but "at some point", the ldap backend stops bothering to
do anything it seems. Anyone have any suggestions? Basically the
whole purposes of this is to make o=NCSU,c=US continue to work while
our new base dn is dc=ncsu,dc=edu. Ideally I'd like to be able to
have both work "forever". Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas as to
how to get the ldap backend to be stable. =/ I can not make sense of
when it elects to die. It doesn't seem to be easily reproducable.
