SYMPTOMS
The Mapping service in Services for UNIX may experience a memory leak when you are synchronizing many UNIX users that do not exist in the Microsoft Windows NT-based domain.



CAUSE
For every UNIX user, the Mapping service performs a corresponding lookup for the Windows NT user. The Mapping service uses the LSALookUpNames function for this lookup, which allocates memory even if the function does not work. If a UNIX user does not exist in the Windows NT-based domain, the function does not succeed and no attempt is made to free the memory.
