I'm still having some problems with 1.9.18p10 on a DEC Unix 4.0e machine (this machine was upgraded from 4.0d last week). The smbds can take up to 20% of the cpu at various times. Anyways, I've been through all this before with the mailing list and a number of people who have attempted to help me out. Thanks to all of you. But, I have some more info which may or may not be useful. Today I decided to try a debug level = 99 and see what happens. In most of the log files (per machine) I get a lot of entries like this: is_in_path: . is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: .. is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: Start Menu is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: USER.DA0 is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: Desktop is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: Nethood is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: Recent is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: USER.DAT is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: prof.dat is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: Favorites is_in_path: no name list. is_in_path: corel8 is_in_path: no name list. ... This goes on and on and it does repeat a number of times throughout the log. I ran with debug level =99 for only about 3 minutes. I have looked at the source and I can't exactly figure out what's going on here. Could this be the cause of my cpu woes? BTW, there was an issue a while ago on the list regarding an "infinite" loop problem on DEC Unix when Samba is trying to figure out a user's group membership. Has this been addressed? Are there patches available? Looking forward to 2.0.0...
