[Samba] samba start randomly a second nmbd process

[Stéphane PURNELLE]

Hi all,

My samba server is executed under a software which control if samba is 
life.
The software use some scripts which made the control and verify if process 
exist.

If the process not exist or have a problem, the software restart the 
application ( in this case :  samba)

sometimes I see that samva is restarted by the software.
yes terday I added a message for see what start the recovery of samba and 
I find that nmbd is present two times.

My test into the script is : 

  health_smbd=`ps -ewwf | grep "smbd" | grep -v grep | wc -l`
   health_nmbd=`ps -ewwf | grep "nmbd" | grep -v grep | wc -l`

# For success
[[ $health_smbd -ge 1 && $health_nmbd -eq 1 ]] 

I must have on or more smbd and I must have one nmbd process.
But : 

normal: 
Lifekeeper: Samba: quickCheck RESOURCE Samba health status : 148 / 1
Lifekeeper: Samba: quickCheck RESOURCE Samba health status : 147 / 1
Lifekeeper: Samba: quickCheck RESOURCE Samba health status : 146 / 1
Lifekeeper: Samba: quickCheck RESOURCE Samba health status : 148 / 1

abnormal : 
Lifekeeper: Samba: quickCheck RESOURCE Samba health status : 108 / 2

As you can see here : 
 # WINS et cache
        wins server = wins-srv
        # wins support = yes
        # wins proxy = yes
        name cache timeout = 660

the wins server is not active, is a smbd4wins on an ither server which 
made the wins server.

Anyone can help me to find the source of the problem ?

Samba 3.2.2 on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.1

Thanks
