This is in our logs constantly:

connection_input: conn=2 deferring operation: binding

And this freezes OpenLDAP, it won't shutdown. Even if you force it, the
bdb backend is left open and you need to remove alock and do a db_recover.

Also, if you shutdown dovecot before shutdown OpenLDAP, there's still a
thread open.

So, no a forced shutdown isn't good :-(


Dec 22 23:13:33 suretec slapd[29622]: daemon: shutdown requested and
initiated.
Dec 22 23:13:33 suretec slapd[29622]: slapd shutdown: waiting for 1
threads to terminate

Thanks.
