I don't know what the problem is but I can give some pointers. Queries that return ~everything can overwhelm participants, so LDAP has the ability to limit the amount of data returned, either with "paged" answer sets, or size limits, or both. "Size limit exceeded" is a typical LDAP error when the size limit has been exceeded. I'm pretty sure that Samba's LDAP interface understands paged results (my server is down for maintenance right now or I'd check), but maybe your LDAP server doesn't. Are you using a fairly recent OpenLDAP RPM package or something else? Actually my guess/assumption is that your queries are poorly formed and poorly rooted, and as a result your searches are matching everything in the directory. Make sure you set the proper suffixes in smb.conf so that searches are constrained to the correct search base. Weren't you reporting similar problems with PAM? Frankly I'd start there if I were you, since it seems to be a problem with all of your LDAP searches everywhere. Find the support list for your server and start with them is best advice I can give. -- Eric A.
