We've been using samba on our LAN to connect our Windows boxes to our debian hosts for quite some time now. Unfortunately, ever since we've upgraded to the latest version of samba (1.9.16alpha10-1) we've been experienced problems where smbd processes startup and use up significant amounts of CPU (keeping the load average above 10!) At any particular time we have between 4 and 8 smbd processes running, not apparently doing anything (just using up tons of CPU).
About 90% of my /var/log/smb* log files are the line: Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 It seems that smbd prints this as it starts up. I just don't understand why it's being started, as the logs don't point to anything being done once the smbd interface is up! My /var/log/nmb* log files are a mixture of the following lines: more than one master browser! connect error: Connection refused Domain=[workgroup] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.16alpha10] Domain=[workgroup] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.15p4] The first two lines about seem to be errors, but I haven't been able to find any documentation of what they mean. btw, I have run through the samba diagnostics file in /usr/doc/samba and everything checks out. This problem has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Behan Webster -- Behan Webster [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 224-7547 or page me at (613) 2~4-7547
