[Samba] Samba 2.2.9pre1 eating CPU and memory, big problem for me!
Hi again A few weeks ago i posted to the list about this problem, but there was no reply. Since then I have upgraded to latest 2.2.x CVS(yesterday) and the problem is still there. Details: For unknown reason smbd leaks memory and eats CPU(top reports RSS=68MB in less than 10 hours and CPU load up to 20%). So far 2 clients, both W2K, trigger this problem. Stopping the clients "Print Spooler" makes the CPU load go back to normal and memory leakage stops, but RSS remains at 68MB. There are 4 printers installed on samba and these work fine. I have tried rebooting the clients, Windows update to latest SW, removing the clients printers and installing them again, but the problem remains. I can't find anything useful in the smbd logs. Any ideas on how to proceed? I am running samba on a RH 7.2 server, kernel 2.4.9-34 Jocke
