SUMMARY: excessive LDAP connections

Hey all,
Thanks to those who replied. I got a few conflicting
reports on this.

 "The best solution, unless you are using xfn for something,
is to
remove the xfn line from /etc/auto_master, and stop/start
autofs." - Rachel Polanskis  

  "This is normal.  It occurs on Linux also.  Anytime you
run a process 
that needs to resolve uids/guids to names will need to open
a connection 
  to LDAP.  So running "ls -l" needs to contact LDAP." -
Brian Miller

 "Make sure you have NSCD running on each client. 
Otherwise, every ls, id,
etc command will do separate quieries for each and every
file it looks at." - Chris_Sellers

I tried all of these but none worked so I decided that Brian
was right and it was normal. 
But today(after a busy week) it was solved, thanks to Robert
Petkus :

 " Make sure that in /etc/nsswitch.conf you don't use ldap
at all for 
services (services:   files) then restart nscd."

 Works perfect. Cheers.

 Will
