What is your "nominal delay"? is it half a second or several seconds
(20, 30, more)?
Long delays when starting Samba may indicate:
- problems communicating with an LDAP server (is your LDAP server on the
same machine as Samba server)?
- problems in the LDAP server itself
- configuration problems
You may increase the log level, both for Samba and LDAP, and see what's
happening.
Quick checks:
Does "getent passwd" list all system users, including the ones in the
LDAP server?
Is "getent passwd" fast, or rather it begins to slow down when it starts
to list the users from the LDAP database?
