Thanks to all of the many folks that responded to my plea!
Last night we pinned the problem on POSIX. One vt session in a posix
shell doing <supply your own mundane task> a recursive file copy to the
bit-bucket completely took over the 928. Samba could occasionaly get in
a word, a second posix shell was out of the question. HP's on the
problem now, Samba is off the hook, and I'm not interviewing with
convenience stores. :)
LDA =B27
STB LATER
thanks again!
