Hi,
smbd eats a lot of cpu time and there is this error in the log:

I googled around and found some possible reasons:
- incorrect macro handling (%g versus %G) - strings over 1024 characters in smb.conf
I will look into this. But I think it would be very nice, if this error will be fixed in 2.2.8a, because samba 3.x seemes too unstable for production environments (if I look at the postings since version 3.0 here). I woold live with samba 2_2 in cvs if the error is fixed there, but here are other show stoppers:

No more work is being done (nor planned on 2.2.x). 3.0 is your only option. Sorry.
