I have had the suggestion of moving the samba as a more known quantity and
better logging. At least then I can see if my high kernel usage (60%) is
reduced or not.

On my home network I observed that when I turned a Windows XP host off a Windows 7 host declared that it lost access to the Samba service hosted from a Solaris 10 system. It was then able to reconnect to the Samba service on that Solaris 10 system even though the Windows XP host remained turned off.

It is a problem that Windows uses random hosts on the network as directory servers and then blames the problem on the host which is actually serving up the data (as if that host was lost) if that random directory server goes away.

This behavior seems like it would make dignosing issues more difficult.
