[Samba] smbd processes 99% cpu and end-user locks up (good gdb attached)

[Nathan Vidican]

I managed to update the system ldap librairies to 2.2.9, but I cannot update 
them beyond that becuase of the dependency from nss_ldap.

Long-story short, the only source of nss_ldap I can get to even run make on is 
that included in the freebsd ports collection (cvsup'd this afternoon), which is 
nss_ldap-1.239, the most current code beying 243. I'm gonna bounce a few emails 
back and forth with nss_ldap developers, but it gave me a good question about 
samba and it's dependancy upon ldap librairies.

Can samba (preferably via ./configure script) have the location to which it 
seeks the ldap librairies over-ridden? As-in with nss_ldap, I can specify 
--with-openldap=/openldap/installed/somewhere/else/ and it seeks lib/libldap*.so 
and include/ldap.h from their. Reason being I have compiled openldap 2.3.11 
using --prefix=/usr/openldap23, I have configured and imported my ldap tree and 
am now using slapd-2.3.11 from this installation, but the system (/usr/local) 
librairies for ldap are still 2.2.9.

So is there an easy way to point samba towards compiling itself to use a 
different openldap distribution, or would this be something one might accomplish 
at run-time?

In the meantime, I'll continue to run using openldap-2.2.9 and see if the issue 
persists.
