Wierd - I've got a wireless (11mbit) client using nss_ldap via startTLS and have
no trouble at all (and the server is a 600Mhz mini-itx box).
i just tried :
make /tmp/mydir
ls -lR that and tcpdump what i'm sending to the server
(about a dozen lines of output)
ls -lR /usr/local/misc (about 3Gb of mp3s owned by me) and tcpdump what i'm
sending to the server
(about a dozen lines of output)
so it looks like only the one query is done by ls (i.e. it only looks up the
name when it displays
the output). How many directories are under /home? Unless we're talking
hundreds, it shouldn't be
more than a second or so delay, tops.
It does'nt appear to caching (repeating the ls a couple of seconds later sends
the
same query), but then i don't think that accounts for your huge delays.
It's definitely the uid lookup? Not NFS /home or something
(Is ls * much faster than ls -l)?
Anything in your logs? I know you can turn on debugging in PAM, don't know how
to
do it in nsswitch....
