When a server has a copy of the security container, dsloader.nlm memory continues to grow.

• dsloader.nlm consumes memory until the server must be rebooted.
• security container has been made into a partition.
  
• server has a real copy of the security partition.
• remote servers create 100 or more connections to the affected servers.
• problem does not occur when nmas is unloaded.
  

There's a defect in NMAS where remote servers won't close a connection when a user authenticates. This only happens under the following conditions:

• The user has an assigned univeral password policy.
• The policy is not assigned at the user object, the user's parent container or the user's partition root.
• The policy is assigned to the login policy object in the security container.
  

This issue can be resolved in two ways:

• Apply Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP5 to the remote servers
• Remove the policy from the login policy object and assign it to a different object in the tree
