Hi ! I've configured Samba 3.3.8 (RHEL5 stable) to use LDAP as Passdb Backend. For resolving filesystem permissions I'm using pam_ldap and nscd for caching. Winbind is disabled. I recently noticed that there are many LDAP Requests. It seems these requests came with the hide unreadable option in the share. I'm not sure if it's only when accessing directories via symlinks. The LDAP Requests causes bad performance. So does anyone know how to reduce these requests? Greetings Thorsten
