I wonder if someone could point me to the appropriate docs for my question? If I would like to cause my system to always start 'smbd' processes at priority 7 for example, how would I go about doing that.
I'm assuming there's a better way than running a cronjob every minute to renice existing processes.
I'd appreciate some help pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks.

smbd is started by /etc/init.d/smb
Find where that script starts smbd, and prefix smb with something like this: nice -n 7
This isn't a particularly elegant solution, but it will work.
You should note that upgrades to Samba may overwrite /etc/init.d/smb, so you may need to make this change again after an upgrade.

---- you might be able to tack it on to /etc/sysconfig/samba launch options (this of course is untested)
