sockstat is what you're looking for.

Also, do not forget about limits(1).

If the sockets aren't being closed (in any condition; after completion
or after error), there's going to be a leak until the daemon is
restarted.  I wouldn't be surprised if this is what's happening, based
on previous experience I've had with slapd during my day job.  :-)
