Hi List, I'm having some problems with Samba 2.0.10 and AutoCAD drawings, specifically when a user prints a CAD file, an smbd process is spawned as smbuser (my guest account) which uses 99% CPU and never gives up, even after the job is fully printed and cups has moved on. This only happens when printing CAD files. Restarting samba doesn't help, the only thing I can do is 'kill -9' the process - which doesn't appear to be affecting anything on the network I am now using 'deadtime = 5' option in smb.conf but I see this as a poor workaround at best The other thing worth noting is that I am unable to reproduce this problem using AutoCAD 2000 Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Jordan
