hi, i've a problem with samba 3.0.2. there is one windows ME client which used to work with out any problems. now, as soon as the user connects (sharelevel: user, or share - i've tried both) on smbd is forked which causes 90 to 100% cpu load. when i stop samba (smbd/nmbd) this proces does not die i can only get rid of it whit a kill -9. with this no data can be transfered from or to the win ME client. this is what a level 2 log stats: [2004/06/16 16:28:44, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(105) netbios connect: name1=LINUX name2=NORBERT [2004/06/16 16:28:44, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(112) netbios connect: local=linux remote=norbert, name type = 0 [2004/06/16 16:28:44, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(591) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.
