samba - May 2004 - High CPU utilization

Apparently nobody has a suggestion to why smbd process all of a sudden starts 
sucking CPU like crazy? Restarted samba and then restarting the entire server 
does not fix it. Searching the archives shows I'm not the only one with this
problem. The archives do not show what to do about it yet. Grr...

Redhat 9.0
Samba 3.04 ( I have 2.2.7 servers that have done this to me also)

I find this often happens if you are having nameserver trouble. That's one
of the coincidences I have noticed in the past, but there are probably
others... being out of locks or resources for example. Hope this helps at
all.

Hello,

i had the same problem. Check your groups and bmembers in there. The 
problem comes, when you have more groupmembers
the users., or if you have a groupmember who is deleted user.
