Package: samba Version: 2:3.4.2-1~bpo50+3 Severity: important
We recently upgraded SAMBA to 3.4.2 from backports.org on one of our Lenny systems to accommodate Windows 7 clients; after the upgrade, smbd processes for some clients started growing by about 35k/s, eventually invoking the OOM killer. All of the affected clients are running the HP toolbox software installed by default from HP printer setup discs, and exiting/disabling the HP toolbox from the system tray appears to fix the issue. This did not happen with the standard Lenny version, only after upgrading to 3.4.2. It appears very similar to an issue reported in October 2006: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-October/125944.html but Jeremy's suggestion that a Windows hotfix may be available seems unlikely, as it appears to be a regression introduced by the upgrade to 3.4.2. I used smbcontrol to turn up the log level for an affected workstation immediately after logon, and will attach the log it produced.
