I assume you are using LDAP as your password server for Samba ?
If you do, use LDAP Account Manager(LAM) from,
http://lam.sourceforge.net
to maintain Samba Accounts. I use LAM to enter accounts and modify them; and I use PhpLdapAdmin to view these accounts because it has tools to display the details of accounts. My Samba works well with openLDAP using LAM.
I've used PhpLdapAdmin to maintain Samba Accounts before, but the fields do not correspond accordingly. And I have similar problems as you do, ldapsearch freezes. I did not bother to investigate why. I do not have much time, I suppose.
I use openldap-2.1.xx. I also have problems similar to what you have describe when using openldap-2.2.xx. List on [EMAIL PROTECTED] suggested to recompile all my other software related to or interacting with openldap-2.2.xx. Did not have time to test.

I'd do two things to check:
1. Check that your LDAP programs or systems are OK, by doing:
ldapwhoami -x
anonymous
2. Check the permissions on you LDAP DB directory.
What change did you do ?
I was changing the email attribute on a record
the permissions look okay, strange it gets some way through and then stops!

Hi
I seem to have run into a bit of ldap problem, I was trying to do a change to my ldap database and it froze the command did not seem to complete. I was using phpldapadmin to modify a record
Since then I have had problems doing anything against the ldap db.
eg ldapsearch -x - stop 1/3 of the way through in the same spot! slapcat - stop and freezes in the same spot
slapindex gets stuck as well
when I have done a strace agains these processes (slapindex, slapcat), they seem to be pumping out schd_yeild and ps has then up s R
I have am wondering what tools there are to look at the bdbm database files, I had a quick look at the db4_xxxx files but they haven't been much help.
Currently looking for a backup of the data, I have a replicated site (fingers crossed), but I used to backup the raw files, but it seems like I have a backup of dud files !
