Surely not. There are at least kernel level limits, if memory serves me right they aren't reported through ulimit on linux. I don't use linux so expect not to much help here. > More oftenly this problem occur due to exceeding max processes ..we are > not crossing 150 process where as limits of process is 512 on Redhat linux > .. we discussed this problem with developers and seems to be because Qmail > not closing connection with LDAP server on port 389 cleanly .. FUD. You are using qmail-ldap I might guess. It closes the connections fine. Works fine with OpenLDAP and iPlanet Directory server. Looks more like IBM's LDAP server does something wrong here. You might have more look using the OpenLDAP client libraries instead of IBM ones (or vice versa, try it). > hence we > were seraching if any one has faced/fixed this problem ... Use a working LDAP server. Really looks like you are hitting ressource limits. Check ulimit -a for the user qmails. And check the kernel ressource limits, defaults to 512 processes and file descriptors if memory serves me right. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

So you are running qmail-ldap. Ask your questions on the qmail-ldap list then. Greetz, Peter -- Against Free Sex! http://www.dataloss.nl/Megahard_en.html

qmail-spawn_unable_to_fork._
Hi All I am getting qmail-spawn_unable_to_fork._ error on my qmail server ..which is running on Linux 2.2.12-20 we are user IBM LDAP Server which is running on a different RS6000 server with AIX as operating system . I serched thro' archieves of mailing list for this error. These mails suggest that this is error on Linux server However on mail server I have seen at any point of time the netstat shows me almost 100 connections with LDAP server in "TIME_WAIT" state ... against 10 odd connections in established state ... that means qmail server is unable to close the connection with LDAP server ... I am not getting any errors in error messages of Linux and in the maillog I am getting only above mentioned error ... i.e. qmail-spawn_unable_to_fork._ regards Himanshu Himanshu Kulkarni B202, Nirmal Tower, Mira Road (E), Dist.

Dear Federico, Thank you very much for providing zero information about your setup while posting a question not related to qmail but your $OS. Please remake /dev/brain and try again later.
