Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libpam-ldap

Many "connection_read(): no connection!" warnings are written to
/var/log/debug and /var/log/syslog by slapd.  However, as stated at
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200811/msg00079.html ,
this is not a problem with slapd, but a client that is disconnecting
without first unbinding.

The suspect client is pam_ldap.so, part of libpam-ldap, when the system
is configured for LDAP client authentication, as per
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
#openldap-auth-config .  It is easily reproduced when using "sudo
login", with either valid or invalid credentials against LDAP.  It is
also reproduced using "su <user>", but apparently only when an invalid
password, etc., does not result in a valid login.

I tried adding some logging into pam_ldap.c and recompiling, and it
shows that ldap_unbind is being called from _pam_ldap_cleanup_session ,
but the warnings still are produced.

System info:  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, libpam-ldap 184-8.2ubuntu1
