samba - Oct 2003 - Nmbd in a infinite loop - consuming 99% CPU

Hi, People

WE are having this problem with nmbd & smbd.  The Process, once started goes
by 99%CPU time and does nothing. For example, if I started nmbd with the option
-l /usr/local/samba/log.nmbd, no log is created.

The smb.conf was not modified over the last 8 years.  The OS is solaris 7, and
we have mainly windows clients.  But doing one test with smbclient from another
sun running solaris 7 gives no response.

I really would appreciate any help or comments or question in order to
understand/troubleshoot this problem.

Thanks,

Reinaldo

I would suggest doing a truss on nmbd and find out what's
going on.  Also what version of Samba is this?
