Source: openldap Severity: important Dear openldap maintainers and contributors, thanks for your work with this package.
Please, don't use tcp-wrappers with slapd. It has been already known for a while that this technology is obsolete [0], and may cause a false sense of security which is even worse. In some environments, this may cause other issues, for example: slapd[7408]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files slapd[7408]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files slapd[7408]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files slapd[7408]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files slapd[7408]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files slapd[7408]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files [0] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2014-June/276215.html
