samba - Feb 2003 - Win XP and 2.2.7a

I have a strange load behavior during certain times with Win XP and 2.2.7a
on AIX 5.1MR03

After about 350-400 machines get connected I get 50% kernel and around 40%
idle and logon times go rightin the toilet.

This happens regardless of XP-SP1 installed or not.

Also this same load was experiened last semester and we were under 2.2.6
with no problems.

Still evaluating logs to find cause, but does anyone have a thought?

Thanks!

Bill

Do the AIX equivalent of of truss or strace and find out what it is 
doing.  Also try looking at a network trace from an XP client.
