Winbind slowing down entire system

[Michels, Gustavo [EES/BR]]

A little follow up

Right now my winbind process is taking 50% of system memory and going
higher.

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
25937 root      16   0  266M 266M  1036 R    10.3 53.1   0:56 winbindd

Weird...

cheers
Gustavo
