[Nss-mysql-users] nss-mysql problem

[Doug Currey]

I keep running into a problem with nss-mysql.

I am using it with sendmail and qpopper 4.04 on a RH 7.3 system.

Although setting it up it works correctly but I seem to be running into
strange problem.

After a random abount of time I get the following in the logs.

Dec  1 04:02:20 itsi244 nss-mysql[30734]: _nss_mysql_db_connect:
connection failed: Too many connections
Dec  1 04:02:20 itsi244 nss-mysql[30734]: setent(1): connection to the
database failed.

Mysql is running and accepting connectios via the command line mysql -h
localhoust -u someuser -psomepass sometable.

I do get a rather large amount of line in mysql when I do a show processlist
