samba - Jul 2005 - High CPU with 3.0.14a in FC4

hi everyone,
I've been subscribed to the mailing lists for about 18 months to 2 years but
have never had the opportunity to post.

One of our clients has a box that is a 3Ghz Pentium 4 running FC1 and 512 MB
of memory. An upgrade was performed to FC4 [2 make use of ACL's].  We
haven't
yet started to implement ACL's [or made any changes to the Samba
configuration].

The problem we are experiencing is that the standard daemon processes [SMBD]
are using significantly more CPU [processes that were running a 10% are now
running at over 40%]. 

Has anybody seen or heard of this before or is this a FC4 specific problem.
The boxes are primarily Windows file sharers but they do run qmail as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards
Brad Horrocks

I've found what I believe to be kerberos bugs in FC4.
Brad, Can you do an strace and see what the processes
are doing ?  Are other servers (e.g. qmail) using more
CPU as well?  Or just smbd?

Jay, have you observed any similar behavior (increaed
CPU usage).





cheers, jerry
