smbd & rpc.mountd eating up all the cpu

[James D. Parra]

Hello,

Don't know what happened, but Samba stopped serving up shares. Top shows
'smbd' using 66% of the cpu and 'rpc.mountd' using 33%. The samba log on
shows;

 [2006/01/19 16:34:54, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(668)
  Netbios nameserver version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE started.

What is happenning and can I fix it??

Many thanks in advance for your help. Samba v. 3.0.13

I think this means that you have a Domain called OMA, and that 2 machines
believe they are both the PDC for that domain. One of them is 192.168.0.14
and the other is 192.168.0.10 I would bet that one is your Samba Server and
the other really is your PDC or has somehow recently been promoted to PDC
status. It could even be another Samba Server that is Misconfigured. If it
is a rogue MS Windows box then use dcpromo from the command line to demote
it from PDC, or if the SAMBA server is the one at fault then change the
setting in smb.conf that makes it a Primary Domain Controller.

Hello,

This Samba server is not the PDC. How can I demote it in the smb.conf?

Thank you,
