Although I have seen this on Solaris 9 running Samba 3.0.10, we
have recently upgraded to Solaris 10 running Samba 3.0.23a.

prstat/top shows a single smbd process out of control and this
message is flooding the log.

Samba is supporting users coming from a Terminal Server 2000 environment
and therefore causes a DOS for users sharing that Terminal Server
connection to Samba.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
