[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#496569: Still present in current samba/winbind packages

[James F Zuelow Jr]

Package: winbind
Version: 2:3.2.1-1+lenny1
Followup-For: Bug #496569


Just a note that this behavior still exists in the current samba/winbind
packages.

Also a correction to my initial report -- the long initial delay does
occur on boot, it was being masked by a login.

If /etc/nsswitch.conf has "files winbind" set for passwd and group, any
user authentication will be delayed, but after that winbind will be
responsive until restarted.

Also, if I restart winbind to trigger the delay any other user
authentication will be delayed.  For example, restarting winbind and
issuing a wbinfo -u will cause winbind to pause.  During that pause
users that log in will be presented with a username and password prompt,
but after entering their password the system will wait until the winbind
-u finishes before completing the login.  This is the same for console
logins, ssh, even something that requires user authentication like Swat
or CUPS.

Again, this behavior is the same on this workstation as well as a fresh
install of Lenny that I put together specifically to test this issue.

This could very well be caused by some particulars of my AD setup, but
the Etch 3.0.24-6 packages are working perfectly.
