If you're getting that much smb traffic, you should probably consider
running samba as a daemon and not started through inetd. The fork/exec
overhead of starting that many samba processes is probably.... bad. 

If I'm setting up a box that I anticipate will be used on a regular
basis, I run smbd and nmbd as stand alone services. It usually works
well for me. Depending on the number of clients, a wins server may or
may not make sense. Hope that helps.


If its not honest to god network traffic... figure out whos DoSing you
and lart them. :)
