Usage Note 20137: Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 leak file descriptors when using the
Sun-provided LDAP client
When using the Sun-provided LDAP client on Solaris 9 and 10, the
ldap_cache_door is opened, but not closed. Depending on how
many users are connecting to the client, this may cause the system
limit of concurrent open file descriptors to be reached.
Running the Solaris command pfiles against the sasauth process will
show the leak. The pfiles command should generate output similar to the
following:
ps -efa | grep sasauth
root 16550 16539 1 Jan 16 ? 35:33 sasauth
pfiles 16550
18962: S_IFDOOR mode:0444 dev:336,0 ino:89 uid:0 gid:0 size:0
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE FD_CLOEXEC door to ldap_cachemgr[3369]
/var/run/ldap_cache_door
18963: S_IFDOOR mode:0444 dev:336,0 ino:89 uid:0 gid:0 size:0
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE FD_CLOEXEC door to ldap_cachemgr[3369]
/var/run/ldap_cache_door
Users experiencing this problem should contact Sun Microsystems
directly. Reference patch 112960-49 for Solaris 9. Reference patch
118833-27 or IDR patch 125284-01 for Solaris 10.
