Hi all,

Using rc15 here, with userdb and passdb in LDAP, no prefetcg.

Dovecot keeps a thread open, so we can't shutdown our directory.

Any ideas why?

So that it can quickly authenticate users without having to connect to the LDAP server every time. This is the first time I've heard of this being a problem.. I don't know what I could do about it. Can't you just force the shutdown?

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.

I'm hoping the next Dovecot release / latest nightly snapshot fixes this. Could you try?

I'll try the next release when Atrpms makes one.

That ok?

Thanks for your work!

Gavin.
