I really hate to sound stupid, but here goes anyway - right now, the 
first smbd in the list gives the following socket information:
COMMAND     PID      USER   FD      TYPE     DEVICE       SIZE       NODE NAME
smbd      18355      root   21u     unix 
0xd9994c00               4039461 socket
smbd      18355      root   22u     unix 
0xc9292600               4039462 socket
smbd      18355      root   25u     unix 
0xe7311600               4039464 socket

How exactly does one go about figuring out what fd 22 is connected 
to?  Andy why exactly FD22?

Sorry, but some of this is new for me - I am learning about some of 
this stuff as I go along...

Thanks for your help by the way.  I appreciate the time that folks on 
the list take to help others...
