The "killall samba" was the last information I found, too. :-(


Is the restart really a problem? I mean, if I just have the DC on a machine 
(during the first time we just will have one) without any shares (except 
netlogon + sysvol), is it a problem, if the DC isn't available for 3-5 seconds 
during restart?

Or doesn't this matter (except a user tries to login during this short time), 
if all shares and printer services are located on s3 member servers, where 
user information are cached by winbindd?
