[Samba] Too many processes kills server

[Paul Harlow]

What tipped you off to that? I took a quick look at STRACE and it looks like
it will definitely be helpful but what should I be looking for?

I have seen the same problem.
Used strace to attach to the daemon.
FOund that the daemons were hangin on an open call to a named pipe.

You might look that way

Yes I can. It's been running without much of any problem this morning. I
will try that when it fails again. Not sure what else to do though. I was
going to try another version via the RPM that comes with RHL 7.3 but it's
got some other dependencies such as "CUPS" that needs to be installed and
I'm not sure what, if anything, CUPS will do on this 7.2 system.

What do you see with:
smbstatus 
Can you see what process or application on the client machines are running
all these smbd's?
