> What is the client at 192.168.0.199? That client is a Windows 2000 desktop which is 99% reserved for backup purposes. It connects to a local Linux computer (192.168.0.99) via Samba (using a mapped drive, of course) and then addresses four NFS mounts to get new and updated files off four distant servers. When Samba goes real crazy with process creations, there is one created every minute during a backup sequence which lasts about 30 minutes. This happens four times a day since the backup software is set up to do backups every six hours. Your help is most appreciated.
