winbind4 in nsswitch.conf spawns a lot of processes

[dfeurle]

I have a working setup of samba4. Both wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u work on ubuntu precise (current alpha2 + patches).

When adding winbind to nsswitch.conf a lot of samba processes are spawned when issuing getent passwd. That leaves the system unusable. Nothing is logged to /var/log/samba/log.winbindd and /var/log/samba/log.samba.

These are the original lines from nsswitch.conf:

passwd: compat
group: compat

changed to:

passwd: compat winbind
group: compat winbind

Before adding winbind 14 samba -d processes exist. Some seconds after issuing getent passwd after adding winbind some ~100 processes exist. This goes until all system memory is used and the kernel kills some processes due to out of memory exceptions.
