Not using amanda, but Samba in general, I found that when I ran a domain
controller that opened shares from one of its clients (a Win98 box)
things would crawl until I killed samba PDC or smbmount..

Definitely sounds like the SMB software wrestling with itself.

Maybe someone will have a solution to both situations..
