Hello,

today a client to connect via ftp to our server ( SLES 9 ) and I got this
error:

slapd[26189]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files


This is a long standing and well known problem with using tcpwrappers. I assume you are using a 32-bit OS? This can be resolved by moving to 64-bits and upping the limits available, IIRC.

Hello Quanah,

it is a 32 bit SLES 9 system.
slapd itself runs as a service and not via inetd.

The process started just before this error was the ftp server that gets called very often.
Would it be a good idea to start this as a service and would this modification solve the problem ?


Thanks
Andreas
