Error: Can't contact LDAP server

[Jelle de Jong <jelledejong@powercraft.nl>]

Hello everybody,

# my /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
http://paste.debian.net/plainh/076816e3

I am trying to debug an issue for a while and I can use some help.

During midday or in the morning there seems to be something happening 
that is causing smbd (samba) to not be able to connect to the ldap server.

Since the machine is localhost is powerfull enough and has free cpu and 
memory I am wondering what is going on. Maybe there is some connection 
maximum but these are the only messages I am getting.

Does somebody know how to debug this, or know the options to tweak to 
get rid of the messages?

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
