Killing smbd pid disables security (ypsrv and ypbind).

Problem1:  Some users are able to connect to "any" share (including
           home directories) "without" a password.

Problems2: Killing smbd pid kills ypsrv and ypbind
           Looks like smbd is capturing the interrupt and then killing yp*
           This does not happen with "kill -9"

Comments:  I am suspecting that smbd has been hacked.

Questions: Does anybody know of any problems like this?
