I've tested the 2014-02-19 snapshot at work. Two problems: 1. Running "id" takes 13 seconds to fetch my 440 group memberships (possibly there are some users that would be in ~10x as many groups). Caching doesn't seem to be effective for this since the next several invocations of "id" take the same time. During most of that time you actually can't ^C the process, lsass is growing a few dozen threads and seems to be talking to the DC. Falling back to use just the /etc files makes this work really fast (much faster than without the snapshot). 2. I use a few volumes on NetApp filers that have security set up so that you can't change attributes. That means POSIX permissions are always listed as "0000". I uausally mount these noacl, but when I access them via their UNC path (for instance when Windows runs a script from a CWD on that volume, then Perl reports false for file test operators (-x, -w) other than existence. Backing out the snapshot reverts to the previous behaviour of these test operators correctly determining that my effective rights (via normal and extended security attributes tied to a group memberships) are sufficient. The shell (bash, tcsh) test operators work correctly, but I don't know what Perl is doing differently. This is independent of whether I use just the /etc files or full AD lookup (switched via /etc/nsswitch.conf) and currently a showstopper for me. I've booby-trapped a few checks to always return true and the actual creation of directories and files then succeeds (as it has always done), but I can't just pull out every one of these from all scripts.
