[Samba] high cpu load with 3.0.20b (not using ldap)

[Sebastian Held]

Hi,

I've a problem, with a cpu load (>66% while running a separate virusscanner
with another 30%) of one of my smbd processes. It only happens occasionally
(approx. 2 times in the last 4 weeks). The backtrace is attached.
It seems to me, that smbd is looking for colorlaser5quota. This printer isn't
attached anymore to the server and neither cups nor samba configuration
files include a section for this printer.
Is this error due to a bug in libc.so.6 not returning from __nis_hash() ?
Or because this machine is a NIS-server?

What to do next, to debug this further?
