Hello, guys I am having a problem with the processes smbd and nmbd. When nmbd starts on our sun, running solaris 2.7 and samba 1.9, it goes into a extremely high CPU utilization (over 99%). Our smb.conf has been untouched for 8 years,so far, and I don't think this is a problem with it. Running "gdb nmbd 2830 gave me:" "/usr2/local/bin/gdb attach 2830 GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see the conditions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, once our client has 6 machines with this problem and all its data needs to be available by samba.
