  • Using wireshark on opensuse 11.2 I discovered that the ldap server was flooded with ldapsearch requests. Turns out that when you use the Yast LDAP Client module to enable your ldap clients, it also turns on ip service lookup via ldap. If you don't store service names/ports in ldap and don't want your server to get really busy with useless request, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change

    services: files ldap

    to

    services: files

    and restart the name service cache daemon (rcnscd restart)
