High consume of CPU by samba

[Geronimo Marchan]

Hi,

We are presenting high consume of CPU by samba daemon, sometime until but of 50%. we have reviewed several items (LAN, domain, etc.) but the issue persist.

The concurrent error in the logs is:

Aug 30 20:38:51 asuccs40 smbd[5472]: domain_client_validate: Domain password server not available.

I attach file with import information ( SO, smb.conf, error, top, glance,etc.).

Please, somebody could help me with this case, i'm not expert with samba.

thanks

Well first off...I would set
password server=dc1, dc2, dc3, etc
and not to *

You may also want to migrate to Samba 3.

See:

for how I got Samba to work with Active directory - if your site doesn't use ads, then stay as domain...
