2.4.3 ndsd Falls Back to Default Port if the Interface Specified<br />

is Incorrect<br />

When using ndsconfig new or ndsmanage to create a second instance of the directory, if the interface<br />

specified is incorrect, nds tries to use the default interface. If you specify non default port (for<br />

example 1524), the interface specified is incorrect, it uses the default interface and the default port<br />

of 524.<br />

For n4u.server.interfaces, if the interface specified is incorrect, then ndsd will try to listen on the first<br />

interface and the port number would be the one specified in n4u.server.tcp-port.<br />

2.4.4 How to Rebuild .eDir Directory<br />

The .edir directory is used for tracking multiple instances of <strong>eDirectory</strong>. To recreate the lost or<br />

corrupted instances file (instances.$uid file, where $uid specifies the user ID of the user in the<br />

system), you must create its individual instances file.<br />

These files must contain the absolute location of the nds.conf files of all the instances configured by<br />

the user. For example, a user with uid as 1000 must create /etc/opt/novell/<strong>eDirectory</strong>/conf/<br />

.edir/instances.1000 instances file with the following entries:<br />

/home/user1/instance1/nds.conf<br />

/home/user1/instance2/nds.conf<br />
