Man, I been posting a lot lately..

Ok, I had recently updated the world. Samba, kde support for it, and xinetd broke. So, I worked for a while and finally got them all fixed. Unfortunately, I had to use the unstable samba (3.0.9). I don't want to downgrade if I don't have to.

Problem:
Nmbd is messing up my system. Sometime at 00:00, it started spawning processes every few seconds. And those processes ended up using ALL of the swap and ram so only root could login (thank god). I don't know how to fix this, any suggestions would be nice.

Possible solution:
I use xinetd to start nmbd so that it doesn't always have to run. I noticed the problem a few days ago too, so I limited xinetd to spawn at most 2 processes. So I don't think xinetd is the problem, but just in case I will turn it off and have nmbd in standalone and see what happens by tomorrow.

thx.

EDIT: (here is part of the log file)
Code:
