Hullo, All... I'm maintaining about twenty HP/UX 11.00 Servers (L1000, 512Mb), all with SaMBa installed. Today, I notice that two of them have the SMBD processes eating more CPU than expected... Bellow is one of my TOP screens... Processes that take 0.40% CPU now take 7.61%!

In addition to this, nothing was changed in the Server environment in a long time... What could be the problem? ______________ Demerson Zounar Analista de Suporte demerson@zaffari.com.br
