[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#537859: slapd: Please add support to set an oom_killer ignore

[Maximilian Mill]

Package: slapd
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

i had some cases where slapd gets killed and other not needed processes were
still active. It would be nice, if slapd gets some setting like ssh has:
configurable oom_killer ignore in /etc/default/ssh.

At the moment,  i just added one line in /etc/init.d/slapd :
echo "-17" >> /proc/`cat $SLAPD_PIDFILE`/oom_adj
This works for me, but its ugly if the package gets upgraded.
Maybe integrate it in the daemon like ssh has.

Thanks,
MM
