What is the problem when sharing /proc?

I recently got the problem that my smbd process takes up a lot of CPU (about
60%). It's running this high even if I don't access the server through my
samba clients. I have tried restarting samba, rebooting the computer and I
have been looking at several logs but I can't see what's wrong. It never
seems to relax. I need to fix this as fast as possible because my CPU fan is
running so high I can't even think.



Don't share /proc via samba.

It might have to do with the infinite recursion problem or other such
weirdness that occurs in the /proc directory.  I would also not trust
explorer not to munge some of the files if permissions were set wrong, and
that could be very bad ( tm ).  Just like you don't want to share /dev since
just openeing some of the files ( eg. Tape drives ) can had effects.

Cheers,
Eric
