Situation
After upgrading from eDirectory 8.7.3.8 to eDirectory 8.8.2 the
following error is reported over and over in the /var/log/messages
file.
"... libslp: slp_open_ipc: could not connect to slpd: Connection refused"
SLP and eDir are still working fine even with these messages.
"... libslp: slp_open_ipc: could not connect to slpd: Connection refused"
SLP and eDir are still working fine even with these messages.
Resolution
Starting with eDirectory 8.7.3.5 Novell discontinued shipping and
supporting the proprietary slpuasa SLP solution in favor of the
open source Open SLP solution.
The slpuasa solution was based off of SLP version 1.
Open SLP is based on SLP version 2.
SLP version 1 has limitations not found in SLP version 2.
Because of these facts Novell only recommends, ships, and supports Open SLP.
