Solaris 8, samba 2.2.8a, high smbd CPU

[Paul Griffith]

I had the same problem and I solved by making sure the following was not
in my smb.conf file. In other word remove the following from you smb.conf
file.

use client driver = yes
disable spoolss = yes

---

And I have the problem only with WinXP clients, Win2K clients are fine.
