Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. This issue has been
fixed in newer versions of Ubuntu, and Jaunty is EOL, so I am closing
this bug task.

This is still happening to me in Jaunty, just as in my comment #34. I
reopened the bug as I think it's not really fixed. I'll take a look at
the max_users patch and see if I can help.

I'm still getting high CPU usage after a few hours of usage.
The system is using LDAP with just 5 users right now as It is a
developmnet environment. In production there will be hundreds of users.
strace shows an infinite print:
strace -p `pidof fast-user-switch-applet`
Current SRU was removed from proposed for bug 279057. If this is still
an issue, it needs to be reuploaded without string changes.

For Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid), I enabled the "proposed" repository and
updated fast-user-switch-applet from 2.24.0-0ubuntu6 to
2.24.0-0ubuntu6.1. It is no longer chewing up 98% of the cpu. Thanks.

So is anything being done here? I can see two possible (easy) solutions:
1) Simply use gksudo in the .desktop file to necessitate root privs to run it
2) (probably better) Integrate policykit into it for those functions, since by

I tried the fix proposed in Ted's PPA for Hardy, but it doesn't work yet.
It continues to use 100% of the CPU, but this time, gnome startup ends well so
the user can work.
However, on use or logout, the applet crashes.
getent passwd | wc -l gives me more than 3500 users
apt-cache policy fast-user
Accepted into intrepid-proposed, please test and give feedback here.

Ubuntu's goal is to provide a very good out-of-the-box experience for
the average user. Those admins who deploy a large site can disable it
with gconf as it doesn't make sense in this case.
Anyway this is a bug that MUST be fixed.

Your chmod workaround has simply disabled NIS and automounting, removing
all network user and filesystem access from your system. That will

I'm in an NIS environment with over 8000 users, and am seeing exactly

I find the same, especially as I have a large /etc/passwd from an NIS
