Hello, I'm facing a silly problem right now. I've installed samba 2.2.8a on a linux box, which is running SuSE 8.0 with a 2.4.20 kernel. The problem is that the performance of the samba installation is quite poor on this system. As we tried to figure out what the reason is, we saw that the smbd daemon is running with a cpu usage up to 98%. That seemed strange to me and I have no clue what I can do about it. I already searched through the maillinglist archives, but didn't found anything for this problem. Any help on this is appreciated. regards Lars

Not sure what you mean with "printer port monitor", but there are clients that have a local driver and prints directly to the network attached printers. The clients that are causing the problem are using samba to print to the same printers. Jocke
