Samba 3.0 alpha5 - winbindd is caching

[Mike Papper]

We have 15000 users and about 10 groups. Its now been running for about 20
hours and still going strong. Wont get to trying out tests that involve
severing network connections and brininging down the PDC etc. for a week at
least.

Also, noticed the fololowing: if I go intot he PDC and bring up the
users-groups manager program and select any user and check the "must chnage
password" box and then uncheck it and then close - the PDC must "update" its
sequence number - because it will cause winbind to go over the network and
get a whole new set of users and groups from the PDC.

Is there any way to just get the updates from the PDC?

Neat!  How many users and groups do you have on your PDC?
