Unless they're needed for your configuration, try

    winbind enum users = No
    winbind enum groups = No

In a large site, those create a lot of traffic.

Hi people: I have a winbind 3.2.5 running on a box to authenticate users
in my squid. My PDC is a samba 3.0.24 and it stores users on ldap. I have
aprox 500 users and when they all use the squid my winbind generates a lot
of traffic to my pdc box causing high load on the smb process that talks
to the winbind... killing the performance of the squid.

Is there anyway to reduce this traffic?
Why everytime a user navigates the winbind revalidates the credentials?
Cache for username/passwords? TTL? something?
Can I avoid the rpc traffic to the PDC and setup the winbind to talk to
the pdc via ldap?

This is my winbind smb.conf:
[global]
    workgroup = DOMAIN
    netbios name = PROXY
    wins support = No
    wins server = 10.1.0.44
    password server = *
    dns proxy = No
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 1000
    syslog only = No
    syslog = 0
    security = domain
    domain master = No
    encrypt passwords = Yes
    passdb backend = tdbsam
    printing = none
    load printers = No
    restrict anonymous = 1
    winbind enum users = Yes
    winbind enum groups = Yes
    winbind use default domain = Yes
    winbind separator = \\
    winbind uid = 10000-20000
    winbind gid = 10000-20000
    winbind cache time = 900
    winbind offline logon = Yes

Just for curious.. this is my squid.conf regarding ntlm:

auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth
--helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp --domain=DOMAIN
auth_param ntlm children 280
auth_param ntlm keep_alive on

I try both keep_alive, on and off... no changes.


Thanks in advance.
