Public bug reported: I have a working setup of samba4. Both wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u work on ubuntu precise (current alpha2 + patches).
When adding winbind to nsswitch.conf a lot of samba processes are spawned when issuing getent passwd. That leaves the system unusable. Nothing is logged to /var/log/samba/log.winbindd and /var/log/samba/log.samba. These are the original lines from nsswitch.conf: passwd: compat group: compat changed to: passwd: compat winbind group: compat winbind Before adding winbind 14 samba -d processes exist. Some seconds after issuing getent passwd after adding winbind some ~100 processes exist. This goes until all system memory is used and the kernel kills some processes due to out of memory exceptions. ** Affects: samba4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933664 Title: winbind4 in nsswitch.conf spawns a lot of processes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+bug/933664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
