[Samba] Lots of Samba (smbd) processes

[Collen Blijenberg <MLHJ>]

Hmm, and you did try these in your smb.conf:

strickt locking = no
posic locking = no
level2 oplocks = no
oplocks = no
locking = no
kernel oplocks = no

also try setting your log level up to, say 4 or 5
and check to output of them.. there might be more
things then only locking probs..
