Hello List, i have a Samba Problem that is related to Sambas ldap behaviour.
Problem: The standalone server ( no DC !!) tries to write an attribute to an write only ldap Slave is sent via WAN to the master write ldap. The problem results from the fact that samba never goes back to the "local" slave ldap to the "local" slave ldap so each samba request goes over an international slow interconnect. Result: local samba server very slow any hints if it is possible to implement an workaround ? -to avoid the write access to ldap -or to get samba back to local ldap slave after accessing the master For the interested the cause of the try to write an Attribute seems to be documented here and in the source:-) http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/WEFLnYpTeFATWth7brhv Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE here is the rebind: > [2012/04/16 18:05:45.972476, 5] lib/smbldap.c:1556(smbldap_modify) > smbldap_modify: dn => [sambaDomainName=KAIRO,l=Kairo,dc=org,o=ABC] that triggers an LDAP WAN connect: 26020 17:00:58.034331 connect(26, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(636), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.128.9.44")}, 16) = 0 head of samba.conf because of Workgroup / Standalone Server global] netbios name = Kairo server string = ABC Kairo workgroup = kai interfaces = em1 127.0.0.1 bind interfaces only = Yes local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes domain logons = no wins support = yes i ask on this list, because customer statement is, that with the "old" samba this behaviour was different / better, no performance problem whatsoever. due to different reasons i cannot easily verifiy this statement by reactivatin / tracing the "old version" for same issue version new: samba-3.5.10-114.el6.x86_64 version old: samba-3.0.20b-3.3 thx for tips Micha -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
