Hello, Since a few days ago I can't grant acces to users on my company network using Squid. I am having problems with 2 winbind processes that are using a huge amount of CPU when users enter the system. The following is the winbind log: > nsswitch/winbindd.c:process_loop(813) > winbindd: Exceeding 200 client connections, no idle connection found > > > and the cache.log: 2008/01/18 11:05:24| WARNING: All ntlmauthenticator processes are busy. 2008/01/18 11:05:24| WARNING: up to 30 pending requests queued 2008/01/18 11:05:54| WARNING: All ntlmauthenticator processes are busy. 2008/01/18 11:05:54| WARNING: up to 59 pending requests queued 2008/01/18 11:05:54| Consider increasing the number of ntlmauthenticator processes to at least 89 in your config file. 2008/01/18 11:06:24| WARNING: All ntlmauthenticator processes are busy. 2008/01/18 11:06:24| WARNING: up to 98 pending requests queued 2008/01/18 11:06:24| Consider increasing the number of ntlmauthenticator processes to at least 128 in your config file. 2008/01/18 11:06:54| WARNING: All ntlmauthenticator processes are busy. 2008/01/18 11:06:54| WARNING: up to 149 pending requests queued 2008/01/18 11:06:54| Consider increasing the number of ntlmauthenticator processes to at least 179 in your config file. 2008/01/18 11:06:55| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2008/01/18 11:06:55| WARNING: Closing open FD 8 2008/01/18 11:06:55| 65536 entries written so far. 2008/01/18 11:06:55| WARNING: Closing open FD 84 2008/01/18 11:06:55| Finished.

Has anyone had the same problem and has succeeded on solving it? It's weird because Squid was working great until I updated Samba from Ubuntu repositories. This is my Scenario: > > S.O.
