[Samba] hundreds of 'smb -D' processes

I have hundreds of the 'smb -D' processes over several days
running on my primary samba box that serves home directories,
shared directories, etc. This is a Fedora Core 5 box with the
latest OS patches.

Glancing through the smb.conf file I didn't see anything that
looked like it would allow hundreds of processes.

I ran a strace on one of the early processes and it seemed to
be in a wait state. I'm at home for now and cannot look at the
box until tomorrow morning.

Any guesses on what might be going on and how to fix it?

Mike
