samba - Sep 2005 - mass-adding users with pdbedit or smbpasswd leads to long delay

Hello everyone,

Mass-adding users with pdbedit or smbpasswd leads to long delay. The
system is
fast enough, however, it takes one second per user.

Might there be any (hidden) delay in these tools?

The command to add the users is:

  ( echo $2 ; echo $2 ) | /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a $1 -s
  /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -r -u $1 -f "$3 $4"

whereas $1 is the logon name, $3 and $4 are the users first and last name.

Filed as bug 3081.

Thanks
Florian

If you are using an ldap backend, then it is
possible.
