[Samba] smbd 100% systemload

Heya,

after looking through the man page of smb.conf, I've found another
interesting directive:

	max smbd processes

This one has its value set to 0 by default, try setting it to a value
reasonable for your count of clients. I assume it has to be used in
combination with deadtime, otherwise old processes might not exit and so
new ones cannot spawn...

Regards,

Ulrik
