While I wait for an answer, an update on two discoveries: 1. High CPU for winbindd process This appears to have happened because I had "winbind cache time = 0" in smb.conf. I set this to zero at some point to debug a previous problem. What happens with the cache time set to zero is that when winbindd's main() calls process_loop() in an infinite loop (which is normal), process_loop() in turn calls rescan_trusted_domains() many times per second. Normally this would just return without doing anything until the cache had expired, but with the cache time parameter set to zero, it queries the server, pegging the CPU and generating much network traffic. I don't recall this setting causing a problem in the past. Perhaps a redesign of the process loop at some point is responsible. I think there should be a warning in the smb.conf man page cautioning against setting the winbind cache time to zero. 2. When I do a getent passwd, I see this in the winbindd log file: [2008/11/11 13:24:26, 0] winbindd/winbindd.c:(633) request_len_recv: Invalid request size received: 2088 (expected 2096) [2008/11/11 13:24:26, 0] winbindd/winbindd.c:(633) request_len_recv: Invalid request size received: 2088 (expected 2096) [2008/11/11 13:24:26, 0] winbindd/winbindd.c:(633) request_len_recv: Invalid request size received: 2088 (expected 2096) Is this normal?
