Thanks for the interesting comments. I will take some time to digest them. Pierre Belanger wrote:
I'd definitely like to pin that down. Just tonight I loaded the latest libthread patch.Now I'm looking back at the truss with the libthread, all I can say besides that it looks "ugly" , I wish I'd know how to print what's in each memory location to figure out if the program is doing it the right way.
I have had a ticket open with sun for some time and we have come up empty handed so far.The last 2 choices... open a ticket with Sun? or link with OpenLDAP to see if you still have the same problem. If the problem is gone once Samba is linked with OpenLDAP, I'd say then that it's a libthread "usleep" bug!
A reminder for those who missed it, I did *not* compile samba with ldap.
I am using padl's nss_ldap (203), and that was compiled against the iPlanet ldap sdk 5. The system is a two processor 280R, dedicated to about 15 users. In addition to samba, it runs oracle, baan, apache and iPlanet mail for those same 15 people.
I've got this same setup (solaris 8, samba 2.2.7a, nss_ldap 203) running on an Ultra 450, with much heavier use, 250 users and none of these problems. It's an older kernel - 108528-14) Other than the processors being UltraSparc II, instead of III, I'm having a hard time finding any differences that would cause this to occur.
