Do you know what can cause the smbd process to steal out the cpu usage
(99%) and keep running like that for days? Is there a spawn problem?
I have a Samba PDC 3.0.1pre3 running on top of RH9 2.4.20 kernel based.
Below is the current top report.
What can be done to explain and prevent such situations?
