[Samba] processes chewing up resources

[Michael Piko]

Hi people

I have a problem with processes not being killed.
These were recorded after all workstations were turned off and only the 
server was active on the network. 

this is from smbstatus -b:

	1304    50016653  spc_d-2                       Thu Mar 28 08:33:18 2002
	25990   50018958  spc_c1                        Thu Mar 28 08:00:06 2002

this is from top:

	Mem:   512372K av,  502400K used,    9972K free,       0K shrd,   53060K buff
	Swap: 1052248K av,   49344K used, 1002904K free                  298404K	
cached

	PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND	
	25990 50018958  19   0  7556 1968  1772 R    99.9  0.3 110:21 smbd
	1304 50016653  16   0  2840 1892  1724 R    99.2  0.3 129:30 smbd
	11410 root      13   0  1120 1120   848 R     0.7  0.2   0:00 top
	1 root       9   0   528  484   460 S     0.0  0.0   0:06 init

As you can see, in this instance, these two processes are running a 99% and 
killing the servers. At one time we have had up to 255 concurrent entries 
like this. We have 60 workstations on the network.

Has anyone experienced this before and is there a fix?


We are using RH7.2 with Samba version 2.2.1a, smb.conf attached.

Any help is appreciated 

Thanks in advance
Michael.
