Hi everyone,
I'm running fds on 2 servers, a supplier and consumer, both are running
redhat ES 4; I noticed today and for the last few days that the supplier
directory server is running very, very slow, top reveals that ns-slapd
is killing the cpu; these are running on server class hardware, roughly
1.5 GHZ hp proliant servers; the consumer directory server cpu
utilization is almost 0 (99 % idol); I don't really know how to being to
troubleshoot this problem; I've seen similar issues on oracle database
servers when database indexes were corrupt and had to be rebuilt....Any
ideas as to how to begin to troubleshoot this? Thanks very much.

Not much to go on here, but I'd start with the basics I'd look at for
any overloaded server. have you looked in the access logs to see if
the increased load is coming from an external source? Anything in the
error logs? Anything in the system logs? How's memory looking on the
box? Anything changed recently?
