Do you mean main ?  Or mail server?

How many connections is this box serving at a given
time (e.g. how many smbd processes are running)?

Winbindd is only trying to service a getpwnam() request.
So some applications is running a getpwnam() on different
case permutations off the string "officedirectories".
This looks like something I would expect from smbd providing
the [homes] share and configured with a non-zero value
for the "username level" parameter in smb.conf.  But I don't
see that in your posting.
