[Samba] Re: Samba Question

[David Michaels]

Worth noting:  The 3.0.x recommendation regarding nscd is that you /do 
not run it at all/.  Though I think that might only apply when you're 
using winbindd, you might want to take a look at your nscd process to 
see if it's notably busy.  It was on our server, taking up half of one 
of the CPUs.  Very bad.  So I turned nscd off.
