I'm curious if there is any better way to manage winbind and smbd. I've got a server that exhibits what seems to be high CPU usage, even under low connection loads. Using Samba 2.2.3a and the Winbind daemon that ships with Mandrake, I'm seeing a CPU usage of 7-10% for smbd, and approximately 10-20% for winbind, simultaneously.
The connection load is 12 separate connections, from two unique hosts. Network throughput is appx 1Mbit to the server. While this is not a high CPU usage, the low number of concurrent connections makes me concerned. It's a 1.26Ghz PIII with 1 gig of RAM and two 120 gig HDs running XFS and Ext3, mirrored into a RAID 1 config with the linux software RAID setup. It's a 100Mbit network, and the network card is an onboard Intel EEPro 100. Is this an abnormal amount of CPU usage? For a server of this speed and configuration, it seems to be rather burdened.
