Hi list To the point:. I have a Samba/LDAP PDC that is working fine. Now I added a Samba/LDAP BDC on a WAN. I followed tips from wiki.samba regarding LDAP replication and samba configurations. It's working but I have noticed that when I try to access shares on BDC is really slow. I can notice this slowness using smbclient directly on BDC accessing shares on BDC itself. If I try to access shares on PDC using smbclient on BDC it's fast! So I suspect is something related to authentication on BDC. Anyone has any hints regarding this? PDC: Debian Etch, Samba 3.0.24, smbldap-tools 0.9.2-3, slapd 2.3.30 BDC: Debian Lenny, Samba 3.2.5, smbldap-tools 0.9.4, slapd 2.4.11 Also: pdbedit -Lvu on PDC is fast, on BDC is slow. getent passwd is fast on both Anyone has any hints regarding this issue? Thanks in advance
