Subject: [Samba] Winbind lookup performance

Redhat 5.2 x86_64
samba-3.0.28-0.el5.8

My system is fully AD integrated, the only issue I have is that when I look up a users group (id, groups, etc.) it takes forever.  This is causing issues due to the fact that I have pam policies in place to allow only users from a specific groups to log in, sudo and/or su.  When the cache expires, it can take over 2 minutes to perform the lookup.  I'm sure it doesn't help that my AD user account is a member of 120 different groups.  I would imagine that if I could use a custom, more exclusive LDAP filter for the winbind module I could improve performance, but I don't believe that option is available.

Is there a way for speeding up the lookup process?

Thanks

I removed winbind enum users = Yes and winbind enum groups = Yes and it seems to be much faster.  Now I just need ot make sure everything else is still working as expected.
