I finally found some reproduceable case where the lsass.exe process will go
berserk.  It's all programs that scan all files in /usr/bin... there are 3800
and there seems to be no caching of any sort going on, so that always takes
about 20 seconds. :-(

I've scanned the ACL in that directory and these are the principals used:

BUILTIN\Administrators
BUILTIN\Administrators
BUILTIN\Users
BUILTIN\Users
AD\Domain Users
AD\Domain Users
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

I have these in /etc/passwd and/or /etc/group.  I'm probably missing out on:

Everyone
Everyone
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users

How does one get suitable entries for /etc/group on these (I have
Authentificated Users:S-1-5-11:11: in /etc/group, but nothing that I could map
to "Everyone")?


Regards,
Achim.
