I have a samba server setup with LDAP.  Before I was using LDAP, I could

a certain point.  If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it
only shows up to certain number of users.  The others are there though
and they work fine.

IE:  I created the user 'johnsonz' as one of my last users.  If I do a
'gentent passwd | grep johnsonz', then I do not see this user anywhere
at all, but if I do 'id johnsonz', it shows his information.

Anyone have any ideas why this would happen?  Everything seems to be

Update to a more recent version of nss_ldap. It is available from
http://www.padl.com.

John,

Just out of curiousity, what in this post make you think that
an update nss_ldap would solve the problem?  Have you experienced
this bug ?   Just curious.


I helped Scott with his set up originally. The version of nss_ldap I pointed Scott at has a bug that is fixed in later release. It causes the exact symptoms he reported. I have had to update to nss_ldap 242 in a number of sites to fix this same problem.

Off hand I would probably be more apt to point at a corrupted
index in the slapd database.

Actually after posting this question earlier in the morning, Pierre sent the fix to me within a few minutes. The following line in the slapd.conf file took care of my problems.

sizelimit -1

I will also do an update though.
