[Samba] Solved! - Samba 3.0.x and high processor utilication caused by /etc/passwd access

[Heiko Boeringer]

Andrew,

thanks for this hot tip! Works fine. Since deleting one non-existent user from /etc/group I have fixed two issues:
- High processor utilization
- Slow network logons with some users (all users which are included in the affected group)

Now I feel better ;-)

regards,
Heiko

There is an issue (fixed in SVN?) when we have a group, with a member
that does not 'exist'.  Check that all  your group members are valid
accounts.
