All of the behavior you describe (prefs change, they get set as dirty, they are stored) is normal. If I'm misunderstanding please update the ticket and we can reopen it.

Why are you locking the last_login pref?

The question is rather, why are they being marked dirty? That should be fixed instead working around the symptoms. - The Last Login parameter is set when a user logs in. When it changes (ie, at login), it is set as dirty. - Some values get set via LDAP hooks (Name, e-mail adresses, etc). When the hooks set these variables, they automatically get set as dirty. It's normal that they get set dirty. What's not normal is that the preference system tries to store them. Regards, Jean-Michel

Using hooks and a ldap backend, locked preferences are often marked as being dirty. When storing preferences into the ldap server, the backend thus constantly tries to store those dirty prefs. On a server with 30,000+ users, this is a very severe performance hit on the ldap server. The patch thus filters the dirty prefs before attempting to store, letting through only the prefs which are not locked.
