Memory leak with XP Clients

[Steve Helder]

I am still having this problem and it is starting to unload programs on the
server again, it only happens with our xp clients and not our win2k win9x/me
clients.  There is no difference on the software being used on any of these
but the xp is still taking quite a bit more Ram than the other clients that
get identical use.

Any suggestions on how I need to configure the xp clients? Again, I am
having zero problems with my win2k or win9x/me clients running identical
applications off of the samba server.

My samba server is a PDC and I have no problem logging on

Find the source before it becomes a problem, huh?  Probably a good idea.

Maybe use smbstatus (or SWAT) to see if the clients are opening a lot of
files.
If it's a problem with the client opening a ton of files, you may be able to
tell from which files are open, how to configure the client to stop.
