Agreed. I help to maintain a samba server that has about 600 users and the load average normally runs about 1.5 to 2.0 (and it's usually that high because Arkeia is sucking files onto a tape drive) pretty much 20 hours a day now. The CPU usage on average is around 60-80% usage, but I can't understand why only 12 users would cause that. CAVEAT: We are not using winbind. Just straight samba. Blue skies...
