There are several -disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted -in the thousands). - - - - -The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that -there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal -session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this -is a performance bottleneck for lareg sites. What is needed is an indexed approach -such as is used in databases. - - - -The second problem is that administrators who desired to replicate a -smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external -tools such as rsync(1) and ssh(1) -and wrote custom, in-house scripts. - - - -And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an -smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as -a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative -Identified (RID). - - - - -As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes -used by smbd was developed.
