[Samba] nmbd using 80-90% cpu for name reg from phantom

[sean darcy]

nmbd is using a lot of cpu:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND 

22681 root      20   0 10080 1520 1084 R 99.0  0.3 146:30.78 nmbd

log.nmbd logs 30-40 messages per second::

nmbd is not set up as a WINS server.

The DHCP server only hands out addreses above 10.10.10.120, so .102 
should not exist, and, in fact, 10.10.10.102 can't be found:

  ping 10.10.10.102
PING 10.10.10.102 (10.10.10.102) 56(84) bytes of data.
 From 10.10.10.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

So, why does nmbd chew up so many cpu cycles dealing with this.

And, any clue where 10.10.10.102 is??

I don't need a WINS server.
