[389-users] Query blocking server

[Juan Asensio Sánchez]

Hi

Samba is making a query to our 389 DS (v. 1.2.2, and too older
versions) that makes the servers freeze. The server is running, and
accepting connections, although the next queries are not processed
until the Samba query is returned. This Samba query takes a long time
to be returned, because it is searching all databases and all objects
in the directory (more than 20000). The filter is
"(&(uid=*)(objectClass=sambaSamAccount))". This query is done when
executing the command "net user" from a Windows or Linux machine. This
queries are executed manually, and intentionally, but should not make
the server freeze. Why is this happening? Is there any option to avoid
this?

Regards.
