SMB_MOUNT_VERSION - not quite solved...

[Sam Steingold]

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.os.linux.development.system as well.

Another thing I just noticed: smbmount process doesn't terminate - it's
still displayed by `ps' after it has returned to the shell and I can
access the smb shares already.  sometimes, after I remount smb shares
several times, I accumulate a sizeable collection of smbmount processes
running in the background:

    40     0  9728     1   0   0   1564   468 pause       S   ?   0:00 smbmount //eagle_one/common XXXXXXXX -c mount /mnt/h 
    40     0 10188     1   0   0   1564   776 pause       S   ?   0:00 smbmount //eagle_one/common XXXXXXXX -c mount /mnt/h

The server is nt4sp3.  where do I look for the logs?
