From 33bce26fcf2e82b9c381eeb32e1d731d3965e22f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Schneider Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2013 16:13:22 +0200 Subject: nsswitch: Don't enumerate all domains with wbinfo -u|-g. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit By default wbinfo -u|-g should only enumerate the domain winbindd is joined to. The command can be harmfull if you have e.g. 30 domains and 700k users. Then the parent will collect all information and the oom-killer will kill winbind. As we still want to support it, you can enable it the old behaviour with wbinfo --domain='*' -u. This is a measure that sysadmins don't shoot themself. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10034 Signed-off-by: Andreas Schneider Reviewed-by: Volker Lendecke Reviewed-by: Günther Deschner Autobuild-User(master): Andreas Schneider Autobuild-Date(master): Thu Jul 18 11:54:58 CEST 2013 on sn-devel-104 --- docs-xml/manpages/wbinfo.1.xml | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs-xml/manpages') diff --git a/docs-xml/manpages/wbinfo.1.xml b/docs-xml/manpages/wbinfo.1.xml index e0d2b6a740..f970a5e361 100644 --- a/docs-xml/manpages/wbinfo.1.xml +++ b/docs-xml/manpages/wbinfo.1.xml @@ -146,8 +146,9 @@ This parameter sets the domain on which any specified operations will performed.
