We had a Samba 207 cpu runaway problem on two systems.

Adding the parm oplocks=no fixed the problem.

Don't forget to check all the links and make sure that they are pointed to
the correct Samba version.

/SAMBA/SMB207/lib/smb.conf  partial listing


# Sample config file for Samba/iX 0.7 and later

# Version 1.1 by Lars Appel, 04-May-1997 / 14-Aug-97

# Copy this file to /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf and adjust as needed.

# You must at least adjust the "interfaces" directive to match
# your IP address and subnet mask (if used) as the current version
# of Samba/iX is unable to retrieve the NMMGR configured values.

# Some of the directives in this sample file are redundant because
# they explicitly specify hardcoded default values that would also
# be in effect if the directives were omitted. They are nevertheless
# included here to document their availability for customization.

# IMPORTANT WARNING: Some of the configuration options do have serious
# security implications and can cause risks or security holes if used
# improperly, especially when you decide to run the SMBD job under a
# user with PM (or even SM) capabilities or even select an SM capable
# user in the "guest account" directive.

# The documentation for smb.conf (available as man page in ../docs as
# well as HTML file in ../html) is thus STRONGLY RECOMMENDED reading!

# Also see the installation and configuration instructions for the
# different ways of running SMBD (i.e. with or without a PM user and
# even without PM program capabilities at all) and the associated
# tradeoffs between feature sets and security issues.
