[Samba] Cpu Usage in Solaris

[Fallsen, Tommy]

Hi

Im wondering if this is normal for samba to have such a high usage,with
this type of HW and
only between 150-200 users on it. I tough the SF280 would be better at
this job. Anyone got similar
setup i can compare to?

Network admin says the speed/latency of the network between clients and
the server is good.
The disks is not very busy at all.

The smb.conf

	NIS homedir = Yes

	directory mask = 0775


[proj_ds]
	comment = proj_ds

[XFR]
