large group missing in getent group
Hi,
this might be a known problem, but I was unable to resolve it:
I'm using Directory Server 5.2 Patch 4 (2005Q4) and I have a group with about 2400 Members. The Problem is when I do a "getent group <grpname> I dont get any results!?
Here are some commands I tried:
bash-2.05# getent group
root::0:root
other::1:
[..]
cb_ai::15027:bm005,ms001
cb_aktuell::15015:cvdab,cvdcb,bb018,bk014,[..]
[..]
[gp_everyone is missing]
bash-2.05# getent group gp_everyone
[no output]
Server-Log:
[11/Jun/2007:11:07:15 +0200] conn=390 op=8 msgId=9 - SRCH base="o=****" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=gp_everyone))" attrs="cn gidNumber userPassword memberUid"
bash-2.05# ldapsearch -v -b "o=*****" "(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=gp_everyone))" cn gidNumber userPassword memberUid
cn=gp_everyone,ou=groups,ou=****,o=****
cn=gp_everyone
gidNumber=10000
memberUid=hft
memberUid=frrap1
memberUid=frrap2
[..]
1 matches
Server-Log:
[11/Jun/2007:11:19:35 +0200] conn=409 op=0 msgId=1 - SRCH base="o=****" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=gp_everyone))" attrs="cn gidNumber userPassword memberUid"
Note that the Server-Log of the last two commands is almost identical and both return something similar like this:
RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0
Hence, using ldapsearch with the same search filter as the one getent is using, I'm getting my group. Why is getent not listing it?
I am on a Sparc Sol 9 system and I have the latest ldap-patch (112960-51) by the way. DS is running on the same system.
I have heard of problems with groups containing more than 2000 members. Does anybody know a solution to this?
I hope somebody can help. Thanks.
David
