still having problem from version 2.0.2 5)

[Ch. Glaser]

hi,

in the WHATSNEW.txt it is stated that the problem with
root-processes in version 2.0.2 is solved. (fromw WHAT'S NEW):
> 5). Attempt to fix the AIX 4.1.x/3.x problems where smbd runs as

we have on our samba-server n14:
AIX 4.3.2
DCE 2.2.0.5
Samba version 2.0.5a

i have it running, users can work so......, 
but i have the problem that the smbd processes do not switch users

---------------cut&paste------
n14_$ /:/usr/sw/samba/bin/smbstatus -s /dlr/etc/samba/lib/smb.conf

Samba version 2.0.5a
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine

...about 50 more users concurrently..
--------------------end----------

but sadly we have 

----------------------------cut&paste---------
n14_$ ps -ef | grep 37052
    root 37052 35396   0 15:40:58      -  0:13
/.../dce.dlr.de/fs/usr/sw/samba/bin/smbd -D -a -d 1 -s /.../dce.dlr.de/fs/etc/samba/lib/smb.conf.fileman_op 
-----------end-----------------------

you can see that we still have the problem of the root processes
and this may cause additional serious problems in our
/var/dce/security/creds directory:

-------------------cut&paste----------------
n14_$ ls -l /var/dce/security/creds

with following:
----------cut&paste--------
n14_$ ls /var/dce/security/creds | wc -l

----------------------end----------------
