Hi Matt,
our server now runs fine without any problems since mid of december
(with machine password timeout disabled).
but our problem was not that samba stopped responding, the problem was
that the whole system slowed down as there were hundreds of smbds running
(smbd never stopped because of a deadlock in accessing secrets.tdb).

Christian,
Have you seen any more problems with your SMBD(s) hanging after setting
your "machine password timeout = 0" ??
We have been having a similar problem with the hanging smbd(s) and
eventually samba just stops responding. Just curious if you have had
additional problems after making the change or if this fixed all your
problems. It has been one week to the day that our server last did this
so I am hoping this will help us. Thanks for the help!!
