Thanks guys for your help so quickly, who says open source support is rubbish ;)

Results:

I came in this morning and....

Our LDAP server is now running at a load average of 0.4-9 with slapd at 10-30% :) the lastweek its been at a load average of 16-23 slapd at 98% :(

Now we have no LDAP queries of "filter=(objectclass=posixaccount)" which was what was killing our LDAP server as it was trying to get over 50,000 entries. :) every few minutes.

Having ldapsam:trusted = yes has greatly improved our proformance :) and my teams worry :)

The University of Sunderland (UK) are commited to using open source software. We in the small IT Systems Team would like to try and get the University to make a donation to the Samba Project, how would we go about this if its possible?

Regards

Daniel Wilson

ok i have now changed the sambaSID on the user nobody to be <gloabl-
sam-sid>-501

it now finds the user nobody but still says it can't find the primary group:
for the user nobody, here are my ldap entries:

# nobody, People, Staff, Itacs, sunderland.ac.uk
dn: uid=nobody,ou=People,ou=Staff,ou=Itacs,dc=sunderland,dc=ac,dc=uk
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-82148923-2461359520-1342846908-501
cn: nobody
uid: nobody
gidNumber: 65533
sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-0-0 (which i understand is nobody on windows)

No, that sid S-1-0-0 is wrong I think. Look here for details :
